Home victory in the making: Johnson’s path to the title
Johnson opened the tournament with a 69, followed it up on Saturday with the day’s best score of 63, and entered the final round as the leader. On Sunday, he briefly ceded the lead to Richard Green but responded with five Birdies in eleven holes—including on holes 12, 13, and 15—to extend his lead to three strokes. A closing Birdie on the par-4 18th hole sealed the victory by four strokes.
“I felt like I had already won before I even teed off. That really gave me a lot of freedom to just play,” Johnson said after the round. Richard Green (68) and Retief Goosen (70) tied for second place with a total score of 13 under Par and each received $160,000. David Bransdon and Brett Quigley followed at 12 under Par in a tie for fourth place.
In eight starts on the PGA Tour Champions, Johnson has already recorded seven top-4 finishes—a remarkable record for a rookie.
