Dustin Johnson has stormed into the lead at the LIV Golf event in Tulsa after being given a 'spicy' pairing with a former team-mate.
LIV Golf organisers were expecting fireworks when they pitted Johnson with Talor Gooch for the first day of this weekend's event. Gooch left Johnson's 4Aces Golf Club (GC) to join Bubba Watson's RangeGoats GC during the offseason, a move that caused tension.
Johnson has made comments about Gooch's exit in the press, and the latter responded by winning back-to-back events in Adelaide and Singapore. Yet Johnson is now laughing again after opening up a two-shot lead heading into the final day of the Tulsa event.
