I really like this golf course, Johnson said. You really have to focus on every shot. You cant really let up. You have narrow fairways, and you have to hit the fairways. Its a really difficult course to play from the rough.Johnson reigned at world No. 1 for 64 consecutive weeks before losing it to Thomas after The Players. Johnson broke through to win his lone major championship title at the U.S. Open at Oakmont two years ago. He and Rory McIlroy are the betting favorites heading to the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills next week, with Ladbrokes listing both players at 12/1.Johnson is homed in with his putter at TPC Southwind. He needed just 24 putts in the second round.Im rolling it down the line Im looking, Johnson said. If I can get a good read and good speed, theyre going to go in.
