QUOTE OF THE WEEK

‘What a cool way to end the day and hole that shot on 18. A lot of good things happened this week. I knew coming in I was swinging really well and had a lot of confidence in my game. Now, it’s about doing it again at the US Open.’

What a cool way to regain the world No 1 spot too, as Dustin Johnson closed out victory by six shots at the St Jude Classic on Sunday by holing his second shot from the fairway at the 18th. In so doing he displaced Justin Thomas at the summit. No player has ever claimed the US Open having won the week before but, given the fairly lenient Shinnecock Hills set-up, Johnson clearly has the opportunity to create history.
