After making cut on the number, Dustin Johnson plays way back into the mix

CROMWELL, Conn. – It's Moving Day at the Travelers Championship and Dustin Johnson did some heavy lifting, moving up roughly 50 spots on the leaderboard following the third round.

Johnson, the tournament’s defending champion, was inside the top 10, at 7 under, when he signed his Saturday scorecard for a 65.

Johnson had six birdies on the day, including three straight on holes 7-9 and again on Nos. 11 and 13, before putting an exclamation point on his day on the par-4 18th. Johnson ignited a roar from the crowd after he smashed his longest drive of the day, 337 yards into the fairway, and then plopped the ball onto the green, 5 feet from the hole.
