Dustin Johnson, Weeks After Major Collapse, Leads British Open

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — After smacking his drive on the 13th hole Thursday, Dustin Johnson headed off the tee box and veered right. A smattering of fans was on that side. So, too, was a screened-off portable toilet.

Johnson was hoping for a brief pit stop. But when he arrived at the door and found it shut, he was forced to improvise. With a quick turn and a furtive glance, Johnson did as so many men on so many golf courses have done over the years. He then headed back toward the fairway just as the door to the toilet opened and Johnson’s caddie and brother, Austin, emerged.
