The end of the Northern Trust was full of suspense without really having any at all. Dustin Johnson had played his way to a nine-shot lead at TPC Boston with two holes to go, but just needed enough daylight – and enough of a break in the stormclouds – to be able to cap off his victory in the first FedEx Cup Playoff event of the year.
Johnson got the opportunity to do it, finishing off a final-round 63 with a birdie at the 18th hole. At 30 under, Johnson finished 11 ahead of runner-up Harris English and 12 ahead of Daniel Berger in third.
Only players who rank No. 70 or better on the FedEx Cup points list can play the next playoff event next week on the North Course at Olympia Fields Golf Club outside Chicago. They’re all competing for the colossal $15 million FedEx Cup prize, of course, but in the meantime, check out how much money each player earned this week at the Northern Trust.
