OAKVILLE, Ontario – Dustin Johnson is accustomed to cheering and singing "Let's Go DJ!" But I serenaded myself with "O Canada"?

"Even after the missed cut last week, I felt like I was hitting him very well," Johnson said. "I did not do very well at Carnoustie, I did not do a good job. I just scored very badly, but I felt like I was doing it. having hit the ball well enough to be under par after two days and I was 5 years old "
It was set up at Glen Abbey, the course designed by Jack Nicklaus that was to be refitted
"I needed to work on the putter, which I did" Johnson said. "Started rolling the putter a lot better here this week. Really, really hit the ball every four days."
