[Golf Topic] World No.1 Johnson: "Practice Even the Day After Winning?" View original image


[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○..."Practice, and more practice."


World No. 1 Dustin Johnson (USA, photo) is truly a 'practice bug.' On the 26th (Korean time), Golfweek introduced that "Johnson moved immediately to Olympia Fields in Chicago, Illinois, the venue for the BMW Championship, right after winning The Northern Trust held at Boston TPC in Norton, Massachusetts." Moreover, the final 4th round was delayed due to bad weather, and the awards ceremony ended close to 9 p.m. Instead of popping champagne, he had a simple dinner on the plane.



It is interesting that Johnson showed up at the gym at 10 a.m. the next day. In the afternoon, he went to Olympia Fields and played 7 holes. The following day, he appeared again at the Olympia Fields putting green at 7 a.m. and played an 8-hole practice round in the afternoon. Revealing his hunter instinct, he said, "There is no time to savor the victory," and "Right now, preparing for the second round of the Playoffs (PO) is more urgent." Johnson's coach Claude Harmon added, "Celebrations happen when there are no tournaments."
