(Reuters) - World number one Dustin Johnson has been drawn to play alongside former champion Jason Day and Swede Henrik Stenson in the first two rounds of next week's PGA Championship, organisers announced on Friday. Johnson, who has three wins in a season that was interrupted by a back injury, is scheduled to tee off with Day and Stenson from the 10th hole at 8:35 a.m. In keeping with tradition, this season's first three major winners have been grouped together - Jordan Spieth (British Open), Brooks Koepka (U.S. Open) and Spain's Sergio Garcia (Masters). They will precede the group consisting of world number four Rory McIlroy, Spain's Jon Rahm and Rickie Fowler. Fiji's Vijay Singh, who won the PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004, has been paired with Americans John Daly and Rich Beem, both former winners.
