The former world No 1 suffered an early exit at Muirfield Village last week, after posting back-to-back 80s over the first two rounds, and he suffered another calamitous front nine at TPC Twin Cities before later withdrawing.<\/p>\n
Making his tournament debut in Minneapolis, Johnson missed a six-foot chance at the 10th – his opening hole – and saw a birdie at the 12th cancelled out with a bogey at the 16th, only to plummet down the leaderboard over his next two holes.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nJohnson found water off the tee on his way to a double-bogey at the 17th, before also ending up in the hazard when trying to reach the par-five 18th green in two.<\/p>\n
After taking a penalty drop, Johnson’s second approach – his fourth shot – suffered a similar fate and then his next attempt also went into the drink, the fourth shot into water in the space of two holes.<\/p>\n
Johnson eventually reached the 18th green at the fourth time of asking, his eighth shot, with an impressive up-and-down salvaging an ugly quadruple-bogey nine and seeing him reach the turn in 42.<\/p>\n
Further bogeys at the second and third briefly took him to nine over, before he decided to withdraw due to a back injury after closing his opening-round 78 with a 20-foot birdie at the ninth – his final hole.<\/p>\n
