Johnson keeps rolling

Now that he’s finally won again, Dustin Johnson is starting to look as dangerous as ever.

One week after Johnson ended a fivemonth dry spell brought on by a back injury, he easily handled the early cold and a steady win at TPC Boston for a 5-under 66 to take a one-shot lead in the opening round of the Dell Technologies Championship in Norton, Mass.

And the world’s No. 1 player made it look easy on a tough day for scoring.

He started with a 35foot birdie putt on No. 10. He made the turn with a 6-iron from 220 yards that sailed high and rode the left-toright wind into 4 feet for eagle. When another big tee shot settled into a divot on the reachable par-5 second hole, he laid up short of the water and still made birdie.

“Put together a pretty good score,” Johnson said.

Marc Leishman and Kyle Stanley were one shot back among the early starters who had to face the surprising chill of morning, a cruel reminder that the end of a New England summer is not far away. Champions Tour:

Kevin Sutherland shot an 8-under 62 to take one-stroke lead over California childhood rival Scott McCarron in the Shaw Charity Classic in Calgary, Alberta.

Sutherland played his final nine — the front nine at Canyon Meadows — in 6-under 29.

Madison’s Jerry Kelly opened with a 66 and Fox Point native Skip Kendall had a 68.
