MEXICO CITY — Dustin Johnson had gone 45 holes without a bogey at the WGC-Mexico Championship. He was cruising along at 14 under par for the week – five clear of the field – when he finally dropped a shot at the par-4 10th – two of them. Johnson hit his tee ball 348 yards into […]

It was just yesterday that Tiger Woods displayed one of the best shots of his storied career on Tour. Today, the script was completely flipped on the 15th and 16th holes on Moving Day at the WGC-Mexico Championship. After finding the fairway on his drive on the par-5 15th, his second shot found the greenside […]
