Dustin Johnson
The golfer who got the most votes among PGATour.com’s experts is Dustin Johnson. He’s in a rich vein of form, finishing in the top-3 in each of his last two starts. In his latest victory at the Genesis Open, Johnson showed that his game isn’t all about power, ranking third in the field in strokes gained: putting at Riviera. With his golf game firing on all cylinders right now, it isn’t far-fetched to see Johnson capture his fourth career WGC title in Mexico City this week.
