Stunning 63 Propels Dustin Johnson to LIV Golf Singapore Lead After Last Place Finish
Dustin Johnson staged a remarkable comeback at LIV Golf Singapore, firing a bogey-free 63 to take a three-shot lead after previously finishing last at LIV Golf Hong Kong just a week ago.

The two-time Major champion explained that his poor performance in Hong Kong was due to a shoulder injury that affected his swing and restricted his head movement. "I couldn't turn my head to the right, so it kind of just pulled when I was on the through swing, so I was hitting everything left," Johnson said.
After extensive work on the injury, Johnson showed significant improvement with a final round 64 in Hong Kong, which he followed up with an impressive eight-birdie performance at Sentosa Golf Club.
The turnaround comes amid questions about Johnson's commitment to LIV Golf, though he has managed to secure at least one tournament victory in each season of the series so far. His previous results this season included finishes of T44 and T31 before last week's last-place showing in Hong Kong.
Johnson's resurgence at Singapore demonstrates his ability to quickly bounce back from adversity, with his improved physical condition clearly reflected in his commanding lead at Sentosa Golf Club.
