Storms rolled through central Wisconsin again on Wednesday night, forcing players and fans off the U.S. Open Erin Hills course earlier than expected. The USGA shut down the driving range, moved people indoors, and called it a day with an early Thursday start to the real action coming.
U.S. Open driving range shuts down, so Dustin Johnson crushes drives from his backyard
The world No. 1 had to get creative finding time and space to practice on Wednesday.
That didn’t stop Dustin Johnson from getting a few more cuts before his title defense. DJ came to Erin Hills later than most, waiting for fiancée Paulina Gretzky to give birth to their second son. That boy arrived late on Monday, and DJ was on the grounds by Tuesday afternoon for a practice round. But apparently the world’s No. 1 player wanted to work on a few more things late Wednesday from his rental home.
It looks like DJ’s house is in a relatively rural spot, but anyone within 350 yards could be in danger. And given his luck with major championship rental homes this year, this activity could be construed as hazardous. But the drive wasn’t the only club that got a workout, as it appeared DJ went through the bag getting some reps with multiple sticks.
