He feels closer than ever as he plays the Valspar Championship for the first time in nine years. Johnson won the World Golf Championship in Mexico by five shots, and he was in position to contend at The Players Championship until the putter deserted him and Johnson finished three shots behind. Johnson played this event in 2008 and 2010 and doesn’t remember much about it.
