Dustin returning to action next week

Myrtle Beach resident Dustin Johnson hasn't played the past two weeks since missing the cut at the British Open, and he said Thursday it has nothing to do with an injury, it was just a personal choice to take some time off. Johnson has played only three rounds on the PGA Tour since the final round of the U.S. Open on June 21. A mild sprain of his left wrist led to a withdrawal from the next week's Travelers Championship following an opening-round 68 and kept him out of action before the British, where he played two rounds.
Johnson said his wrist is fine, and he is playing the next two weeks in the $8.5 million WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone CC in Akron, Ohio, ,and the $7.2 million PGA Championship at Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minn. Entering this week's Buick Open, Johnson was 18th in FedEx Cup points and 18th on the money list with nearly $2.12 earned in 2009.
