Dustin Johnson held the world number one ranking for over a year and has a message for Justin Thomas, he wants it back.
The duo form part of a stellar field lined up for The Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village where the top spot in the world rankings could once again change hands.
Thomas dethroned his USA teammate at The Players but Johnson insists that regaining the title is something that will motivate him this week.
‘Yeah, definitely I want to get back to it,’ said Johnson.
‘It’s something that is going to motivate me to work harder and get my game back into the form that I think it should be in. I think we’re headed in the right direction.
‘The golf game feels really good right now and obviously got a few big weeks coming up here.’
Johnson is joined by a pair of former world number ones for the first two rounds this week as Jason Day and Rory McIlroy attempt to play their way back to top spot.
