KAPALUA, Hawaii It was a typical Dustin Johnson round on Thursday at the Sentry Tournament of Champions.The world No. 1 made an eagle at the par-5 fifth hole, and overpowered the Plantation Course with a 323-yard average on his way to a 4-under 69 that left him just two strokes off the lead.It all added to Johnsons record at the winners-only event, which he won in 2013 and where hes finished inside the top 10 in each of the five years, and it could have been even better had he converted a few more birdie opportunities.

Fooling around with a left-hand low grip at home would be one thing. Testing it out for the first time in competition in a Ryder Cup? That just seems crazy.
Francesco Molinari birdied his final hole to grab the early lead at the Wells Fargo Championship as world number one Dustin Johnson had a solid round in his return from a back injury. Italy's Molinari chipped in from the rough on No. 18 for his eighth birdie of the day to open with a six-under 66 at
