Filed under: FedEx CupSo what do you think of the FedEx Cup now? After hard-luck Dustin Johnson shot a final-round 69 Sunday to win the BMW Championship is the PGA Tour's post-season inspiring or a snoozer?
Johnson melted down in the final round of the U.S. Open and he brain-cramped on the finishing hole of the PGA Championship. But Sunday at Chicago's Cog Hill he didn't let anything get away, producing two birdies and one bogey to finish 9 under and one shot in front of runner-up Paul Casey.
"You know, to finally get it done, especially after all the things I've gone through this summer, to finally get it done on Sunday, it can't feel any better, especially because I played really good golf today," Johnson said. "I didn't make as many birdies as I would have liked to, but I made just enough."
It was the 26-year-old Johnson's fourth career victory and second of the season. He breezes into the post-season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, where the FedEx Cup winner scoops up a cool $10 million bonus.
Along with top-seeded Matt Kuchar, Johnson will join Charley Hoffman, Steve Stricker and Casey as players, by way of their top-five finish on the points list, who will control their own playoff destiny: a victory at East Lake guarantees the FedEx crown.
