1474590016683

Dustin Johnson doesn’t necessarily need to win the Tour Championship to clinch his first FedEx Cup title, but the world No. 2 carded a four-under 66 on Thursday, putting him in a three-way tie for the lead after the first round.

Hideki Matsuyama and Kevin Chappell are the co-leaders of the 30-man field at Atlanta’s East Lake Golf Club.

Playing in the last group of the day, Johnson raced out to three birdies in his first six holes before calming down. He played the rest of the round at one under, going birdie-bogey on Nos. 12 and 13 before finishing with a birdie on No. 18.

The PGA Tour provided a look at a couple of Johnson’s stellar shots:
