6 years agoDustin Johnson arrives in China with a lot on the line. Brooks Koepka surpassed Johnson last week as the new world No. 1 player, and one would think the 34-year-old is going to do everything in his power to try and reclaim his place on the top of the mountain. Johnson has been brilliant at the WGC-HSBC Champions event during his career, posting three top-five finishes in his previous four attempts, including a win here in 2013. But the American does have some demons in China he will need to exorcise. Johnson entered last year's final round with a six-shot lead over Brooks Koepka and an eight-shot advantage over Justin Rose, but a Sunday 77 for Johnson mixed with a superb closing stretch for Rose saw the Englishman steal the title by two shots. In our opinion, the 19-time PGA Tour winner doesn't appear like the type of person that will let last year's result hamper this season's performance. Johnson is the 8/1 betting favorite, according to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.--Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
