Masters 2020: Dustin Johnson has Green Jacket in sights after bogeyless brilliance

The Telegraph  

Dustin Johnson has been here before - leading going into a final round, playing supremely, looking all over the champion, only to blow up when it matters. Johnson, 36, is on 16-under after a third-round 65, and this bogeyless brilliance - the best score in the third round by two shots - has handed him a four-shot cushion over three players waiting to win their first major in Korean Sungjae Im, Australian Cameron Smith and Mexican Abraham Ancer. Johnson’s form makes it easier to envisage him breaking the Masters scoring record than throwing away another chance to win a second major. For the first time in major history, the players ranked one, two and three in the world - Johnson, Spain’s Jon Rahm and another American in Justin Thomas - shared the lead at the halfway point. I'm swinging really well and if I can just continue to give myself a lot of looks at birdie, I think I'll have a good day.” Johnson has never putted better and part of that can be put down to the advice he has received from another former world No 1.
