Tree trouble for the leader.

I don't know what happened, but it shot straight up in the air, and I did not think it was going to come out like that. Then a lot of stuff happened after that.It did. His third shot clipped a different tree and once again ricocheted right.From there, he managed to find the putting surface and two-putt for a double bogey-6. A birdie from McIlroy resulted in a three-shot swing that cut Johnsons lead from five to two.

But DJ quickly shrugged it off, circling four of his final eight holes to shoot 5-under 66 and reach 16 under par for the week. Hell start Sunday four clear of Rory.I ended up making a double. But, I don't know, I didn't let it bother me, Johnson said. Because I knew I'm playing well and I knew there was plenty of holes I could make birdies on. So, yeah, just kept playing.
