The Outlook

How’s this for a thought: If he wins this week, Johnson would complete the career grand slam with a victory at the U.S. Open — which might be the major which best suits his game. Then again, we shouldn’t hold our collective breath. Johnson hasn’t finished inside the top 30 in his past four PGA appearances, though he’s enjoying yet another ploddingly consistent campaign.
