The oldest of golf’s four majors gets underway Thursday morning from Royal Troon in Scotland, and the biggest question going into the British Open appears to surround Dustin Johnson. The talented and long-hitting golfer shed the title of the most talented player on the tour without a major championship to his credit when he won the U.S. Open last month, and now that he has that tournament to his credit, can he keep up his level of play and make it two in a row at the British Open? Johnson’s ability to hit the ball for distance is just one of his attributes. He has also been impressive...

Preparation for the Open Championship...

In a world where average professionals regularly hit the ball 300 yards or more off the tee, Johnson has consistently shown the ability to overpower the ball and hit it 20 or 30 yards past his competitors. But that was...
