It's Sunday at a major and Dustin Johnson has another shot at a major title, this time with the British Open.

In tough Saurday conditions, Johnson posted his second straight 2-under 68, leaving him one stroke off the pace set by Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke.

You'll remember that Johnson fell apart at last year's U.S. Open. Then, a much-debated penalty on the 72nd hole cost him a spot in the playoff at the PGA Championship.

Johnson, one of the best ball strikers on the PGA Tour has found his putting stroke in Sandwich, England is all about bouncing back and moving foreward.  That is what he has done this week.

Johnson told Sky Sports in England last night: "I'm going to be pretty comfortable out there tomorrow because I know what to expect, I know how to approach it and what I do in those situations."

Going through what Johnson has gone through makes him the favorite today to win this.

I think he gets the job done.
