USPGA PROFILE

Johnson made the big breakthrough in unexpected fashion by winning the US Masters at Augusta this April. Showing that brains could defeat brawn, Johnson laid up on every par five that week and yet played them in 11 under par thanks to his brilliant short game. He followed that deserved success with another victory in the AT&T Classic the following month and, although he finished down in 45th in the US Open, he hit back with a top 20 at Carnoustie. That was a sign of his growing maturity as a golfer as he'd never made an Open cut in three previous visits. He continued his good play at Firestone last week, hitting the front in round three before a horror quadruple bogey derailed him. But mentally strong with a straight driver and superb short game, Johnson could find that Southern Hills is right up his street.
