Dustin Johnson holds slender lead at Tour Championship
Johnson leads with two rounds to go at East Lake as he goes in search of first FedEx Cup title...
Dustin Johnson might not have brought his A-game to East Lake so far this week, but the big-hitting American still leads by one stroke with two rounds to go at the Tour Championship.
Johnson, who started the week at 10-under par in the staggered start, added a second-round 70 to his opening 67 to move to 13-under par and one stroke clear of Sungjae Im, who posted a superb 64.

Incredibly, Johnson found just two fairways on Saturday as he exchanged four birdies with four bogeys in a lacklustre round.
Xander Schauffele moved up to 11-under par following a 65, with Justin Thomas back on 10-under par after a 71.
US PGA champion Collin Morikawa (65) lurks at 9-under par alongside England's No.1 player Tyrrell Hatton (66) and Jon Rahm, who posted a dismal 74.

Rory McIlroy, who became a father for the first time earlier this week, made a mess of the par-5 18th when topping his ball out of the heavy rough and into the water en route to a bogey-six.
McIlroy is bidding to become the first player to win the FedEx Cup three times but he has it all to do at 8-under par with 36 holes to go.
