Johnson missed the cut at the Open Championship and ruined many DFS lineups in the process. Am I concerned? Absolutely not. If he would have just bogeyed number 18 on both Thursday and Friday, he would have been around on the weekend and at that point, who knows what could have happened (we all saw what Justin Rose was able to do). Before that, Johnson hadn’t finished outside of the top 20 since last September. That’s as consistent as any golfer on tour. In this field, DJ is ranked fourth off the tee, third in approach, and first in birdie or better percentage. He has yet to pick up a win here, but he has three top ten finishes in his last three tries, including two seconds. We all know his father in law is Canadian (Wayne Gretzky), so maybe DJ will have a little extra motivation in this one. This is a great week to take a stars and scrubs approach with lineups, as there are a lot of good cheap plays available.
