Dustin Johnson

Age 34

State South Carolina World ranking 1 Average drive 314 yards Driving accuracy 58.3% GIR 70.6%

Avg putts per round 28.3 Amid various speculations, Dustin Johnson has not been himself this year although he is back to world No 1. Statistically Johnson has been impressive when he’s played; he’s ranked first for strokes gained off the tee, tee to green and strokes gained total. I feel that this Ryder Cup will be the on-course distraction that Johnson needs.

Strengths Long, strong and unfazed emotionally. He will be able to hit the fairways and if his putter is hot, he will score vital points. Weaknesses The only one he has is whether he’s fully engaged.
