Predictions

Nothing Will Slow Dustin Johnson Down

Thirty-six holes of the British Open may remain, but this tournament is Johnson's to lose. He's the best golfer at St. Andrews right now and is showing no sign of slowing down. According to ESPN Stats & Info, history is also on Johnson's side:

Of course, it's impossible to ignore his meltdown on the final hole of the U.S. Open, but somebody like Johnson didn't get to where he is by having a long memory and dwelling on past failures.

After heading into the clubhouse following Thursday's opening round, the 31-year-old didn't sound like he was too burdened by his three-putt letdown, per Ewan Murray of The Guardian:

"

Nothing bad happened at Chambers Bay, so I wasn't disappointed, really. I played really well, did everything I was supposed to. I couldn't control what the ball was doing on the greens there. There's really no bad feelings from that, only good. I played really well and then it carried over to today. I played really well today.

"

Through two rounds, Johnson hasn't quite been the best off the tee—he's tied for 107th in driving accuracy—but he has missed just six of his 36 greens in regulation.

The question now, though, is whether Johnson plays to type and struggles over the final two rounds. Ray noted how his recent performances in the first two rounds of major tournaments stand in stark contrast to how he plays over the last two days:

With Paul Lawrie and Danny Willett breathing down his neck, Johnson can't afford to make a ton of mistakes Sunday, but he shouldn't necessarily need a spectacular round to maintain his lead, either. As long as the 31-year-old just carries over his Round 2 performance into the third round, everything should be fine.

Adam Scott Will Be Dustin Johnson's Stiffest Competition

It was bound to happen eventually. After three top-five finishes at the British Open in the last three years, Adam Scott was going to put himself into contention sooner or later at St. Andrews.

Scott shot a somewhat pedestrian two-under 70 in the first round. Nothing really clicked for 35-year-old as he hit 63 percent of his fairways and 72 percent of his greens in regulation. Neither total is embarrassing by any stretch, but they're not going to enough for a golfer to seriously challenge for the lead.

Then came Round 2, in which Scott's driving accuracy rose to 81 percent, while his GIR jumped to 94 percent. He also failed to card a single bogey. His five-under 67 was the second-lowest score of the round.

On Friday, Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman credited some of Scott's success on the course to his caddie:

Scott admitted he hasn't been shy about picking Steve Williams' brain about the best course of action when he is a bit curious, per Golf Digest's Geoff Shackelford:

"

We've been probably in more discussion here for two days than we normally are at any other course. It's one of his great attributes is he gets a great feel for the moment and a feel for the shots, and he's obviously seen a lot of great shots around here and other places. Just to be clear that I'm not going to hit the wrong shot, we discuss it a little more because it is crucial out here. If you pick the wrong one, you can really end up in who knows where and then struggle.

"

Williams obviously has a wealth of experience at this event, and the fact Scott isn't afraid to call upon that experience at whatever situation speaks to the trust between the two. Together, they form one of the strongest partnerships at the British Open.

Combine that with Scott's history in the tournament, and you have a real threat to Johnson's spot atop the leaderboard.
