Johnson wins US PGA BMW Championship in record fashion

13 Sep, 2016

World number two Dustin Johnson fired a five-under par 67 Sunday to win the US PGA's BMW Championship by three strokes over England's Paul Casey with a tournament scoring record. The 32-year-old American, who captured his first major title at the US Open in June at Oakmont, finished on 23-under par 265 over 72 holes at the 7,516-yard Crooked Stick layout in suburban Indianapolis.
"I played really solid, drove it really nicely, wedged it really good," Johnson said. "I played really solid all week."
It was the 12th career victory for Johnson on the US PGA Tour and his third of the year, his personal best following his major breakthrough and the World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational.
"I've got a lot of confidence in every part of my game," Johnson said. "All the work I have put in on my wedges has really paid off this year. I putted really great this week."
