Dustin Johnson Pulls Away in Round 2 of the U.S. Open
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Justin Thomas, who played with Dustin Johnson and Tiger Woods, had an insightful, firsthand perspective on what was going well and what was going wrong in the second round of the United States Open on Friday.
Of Johnson, who leads the championship by four strokes, Thomas said, “He’s just playing D.J. golf.”
“Dustin drives the ball really well,” Thomas said when asked to elaborate. “His distance control and his iron play are great. He had some great up-and-downs out of bunkers, and he’s putting well. So he pretty much has it all covered.”
Of Woods, who missed the cut with a 36-hole score of 10 over par, Thomas said, “He definitely didn’t have it.”
