CROMWELL, Conn. After enduring the pressure-cooker of the U.S. Open, Zach Johnson was more than happy to drift north to the friendly confines of TPC River Highlands.Birdies were rare last week at Shinnecock Hills, but theyll be plentiful all week long at the Travelers Championship. Browned-out and crispy conditions transitioned to lush and verdant, and players can attack flags without fear of turning a possible par into a struggle to avoid triple.Johnson did just that in the opening round, carding eight birdies against a single bogey to take the early lead with a 7-under 63.Its a different kind of breathing.

But the veteran is no stranger to fast starts at TPC River Highlands, having now opened with 65 or better four times in his last eight appearances dating back to 2011.Its a course where he continues to have success, even if his past consistency hasnt lived up to expectations.I feel like every time I get here it feels like I should shoot nothing, and it bites me, Johnson said. The last couple years Im like, All right, you cant have any expectations in that regard. Youve just got to go out and execute, you know, put the ball in the fairway and you will have opportunities.
