Dustin Johnson is fresh off earning his 21st PGA Tour title at the Travelers Championship, so he isn't too concerned about Bryson DeChambeau's run of success following his transformation into golf's longest hitter.
"I feel like my game and where it's at and how far I hit it, is far enough," Johnson said Tuesday at the Memorial Tournament, according to ASAP Sports. "And until I feel like I need to hit it further to compete or beat these guys, then that's what I'll do. But for right now, I feel like if I'm playing my game, he can hit it as far as he wants to, and I don't think he's going to beat me."
Johnson, who moved to world No. 3 after his victory three tournaments ago, has ranked inside the top 10 in driving distance every year on the PGA Tour since 2008.
He admitted he has another gear in terms of length off the tee but doesn't feel it's worth the risk.
"I'd probably hurt something," Johnson said about trying to swing as hard as DeChambeau does. "That's why I don't do it. And I wouldn't find half of them."
He added, "When I'm on the range, sometimes I'll start hitting them hard just for fun, and I generally hit them pretty straight. But it's different when you're on a wide driving range than when you're on the golf course and you've got to hit it into a pretty narrow fairway."
Johnson will play Rounds 1 and 2 alongside fellow Presidents Cup team members Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele in search of back-to-back PGA Tour wins.
