Dustin Johnson has some unfinished business to attend to at Glen Abbey.
The world's top-ranked golfer headlines the field for this week's RBC Canadian Open in Oakville, Ontario, returning to try to go one better than the 2016 edition, in which he tied for second place behind Jhonattan Vegas. Johnson has finished second twice in his four visits to the Canadian Open, and he heads into Thursday's first round as the favourite in a field that features no other players currently in the top 10.
