Dustin Johnson plays down chances at Wells Fargo Championship
Wednesday 3 May 2017 17:41, UK
Dustin Johnson has played down his chances of continuing his winning run as he returns from injury at the Wells Fargo Championship.
The world No 1 suffered a back injury on the eve of the Masters and had to withdraw from the opening major of the year moments before his tee time at Augusta.
Johnson had registered three consecutive victories on the PGA Tour prior to his injury, following his Genesis Open win with further success at the WGC-Cadillac Championship and WGC-Dell Technology Match Play.
The US Open champion hasn't featured competitively since winning at Austin Country Club in March, but is relishing the prospect of returning to action in North Carolina this week.
"I'm good to go," Johnson told the Golf Channel. "I haven't practiced much in the last few weeks as I obviously had to rest. I was sore for a while, a lot longer than I thought I would be.
"I practiced a little bit last week and then I'm looking forward to getting back out there and playing again.

"I don't really have that many expectations since I haven't practiced too much, but I'm feeling good and I feel like I'm swinging really well.
"I'm hitting the ball pretty good, so we'll just have to see what happens."
This week's tournament is being staged at Eagle Point Golf Club, due to regular venue Quail Hollow Country Club being prepared for this year's PGA Championship.
