Xander Schauffele made the staggered scoring at the Tour Championship meaningless in a hurry

Dustin Johnson, the world No. 1 who will be defending his title at the Masters Tournament next week, has released his menu for the Champions Dinner. "Almost as good as the sandwiches!" he wrote on Twitter, along with the invitation to the dinner. Johnson, who won the FedExCup last summer, won the Masters by five shots at a record 20 under par in November. He also set records for most greens in regulation (60) and fewest bogeys (four). This was what he had dreamed about as he honed his game at the Weed Hill driving range in Columbia, South Carolina, about an hour from Magnolia Lane. Now he'll host the Champions Dinner. The invitation lists the menu items that will be "Served in Honor of Mr. Dustin Johnson." Appetizers Pigs in a Blanket and Lobster & Corn Fritters First Course House Salad or Caesar Salad Family-Style Sides Mashed Potatoes and Spring Vegetables Main Course Filet Mignon and Miso-Marinated Sea Bass Dessert Peach Cobbler and Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream

Rickie Fowler is off to a great start in pursuit of his first major title. The 28-year-old Fowler closed out a 7-under 65 with par on the tricky No. 9 at Erin Hills. He finished his first round with seven birdies and no bogeys with six of those coming in his first 11 holes. Fowler’s opening-round 65 tied the record for the lowest round shot in relation to par in U.S. Open history. While Rickie Fowler is making Erin Hills look like something other than a brutal U.S. Open course, Dustin Johnson made it look every bit as tough as advertised. Johnson spent lots of time in the knee-high fescue in his first round as the defending U.S. Open champion. Johnson hacked out of the tall grass on 14 en route to a double-bogey, then had to step into it twice on 17, but managed to save bogey there. Johnson finished his round at 3-over par. Brian Harman, Tommy Fleetwood and Brooks Koepka each carded a 5-under 67 and are two behind Fowler’s lead in a tie for second. Patrick Reed closed his round with a birdie at the last that moved him into fifth at 4-under par. The course is playing at 7,845 yards for the first day.
