Johnson returns to golf action for Wells Fargo Championship

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Dustin Johnson hasn’t lost his touch with his wedges.

From 107 yards away on the fourth hole Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Championship, his shot took a big hop on the firm green and flew straight into the cup for an eagle. The crowd erupted in cheers, while Johnson simply smiled and used his shoe to tamp down the corners of his divot.

“I’ll take it, though,” he said. “I need all the good shots I can get. I haven’t hit too many lately.”

The Wells Fargo Championship is his first tournament since a freak accident knocked him out of the Masters a month ago.
