Dustin Johnson explains real reason why he switched to a fade from a draw five years after employing Butch Harmon

Dustin Johnson clearly isn’t the player he once was anymore.

However, young kids of today have to realise just how good Johnson was in his prime.

The 40-year-old’s game reached a whole new stratosphere after he employed Butch Harmon as his coach in 2010, and he continued working with him up until 2017.

Somewhat sadly, Johnson is said to be coasting on LIV now, with his hunger to win big championships having diminished.

Johnson has admitted to being lazy at times in the past when it comes to practice, but that never stopped him from becoming the best player in the world for a sustained period of time.

In fact, he was ranked as the world number one for a total of 135 weeks up until July 2021.

And now Johnson has lifted the lid on a key change he made earlier on in his career that enabled him to become so dominant.

When Johnson burst onto the PGA Tour in 2008, he was clearly a precocious talent.

He hit the ball longer than anyone else, and he endeared himself to golf fans with his laid back demeanour.
