Lehman: It’s Dustin time

FORMER winner Tom Lehman has backed Dustin Johnson to overpower Royal Birkdale.

World No.1 Johnson (below) leads the driving distances stats on the PGA Tour.

And Lehman, the Open champion in 1996, said: “Guys who drive the ball well and who have some length are going to be happy campers. So I think Dustin looks good.”

Johnson said: “Everything is feeling pretty good right now. I’m definitely hitting it a lot better and the putter feels good.”
