Johnson had to be replaced for the third round by Thomas father, Mike. Johnson injured his right foot (plantar fasciitis) in October at the CIMB Classic and had spent the last few weeks in a walking boot. After two trips around the Plantation Course, considered the most demanding walk on the PGA Tour, it was clear he couldnt continue. It should take about a month for Johnson to heal.Obviously this isnt a great place to walk when youve been in a boot for a while, Thomas said. He thought he could go and he went the first two days and he was just a little slower walking. I told him, Look Id rather you take as much time as you need to get it better and make sure that youre fresh come L.A., Match Play, Masters, whatever it is, I want him to be 100 percent again.The plan is for Mackay to work for Thomas at the Sony Open, and Thomas said hes still considering who will step in until Johnson is healthy enough to return.Thomas began his week with rounds of 71-75 and started the third round 10 strokes off the lead before struggling on Saturday to a 2-over 75.Mike Thomas, who last caddied for his son at the 2016 QBE Shootout, will caddie for Justin on Sunday.
