In the end, a testing week at the BMW Championship came down to a couple of long putts.
Dustin Johnson drained a snaking 43-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole at Olympia Fields on Sunday to force a playoff with Jon Rahm. It didn’t last long, because on the first playoff hole, Rahm poured in a 66-footer for birdie to win the tournament. It was his second Tour win of the year and fifth overall.
Rahm overcame a first-round 75 and a third-round penalty to shoot 66-64 over the weekend. He led by two late Sunday, but Johnson birdied the 15th to make it a one-shot deficit. Johnson’s birdie on 18 forged a tie.
Johnson will still start next week’s Tour Championship in the pole position at 10 under, two shots ahead of the field. In addition to that perk, here’s how much Johnson, Rahm and the rest of the field won on Sunday.
