Rahm secures playoff win with monster 66-foot putt
Print Edition
Spain’s Jon Rahm sunk a breathtaking 66-foot (20-meter) putt to win the BMW Championship on Sunday in a thrilling playoff victory over American Dustin Johnson.
The 25-year-old, who recently spent two weeks as world No. 1, shot a flawless 6-under-par 64 on Sunday, saving his best for last after carding a lackluster 5-over 75 in the first round. Rocketing up the leaderboard on Sunday, Rahm then drained the long putt in the first hole of a playoff against Johnson, letting out an elated roar. Johnson, who had a two-stroke lead heading into the final round, carded a 3-under 67 despite a pair of costly bogeys. He shot a birdie on 18 to push the round into a playoff but his effort was not enough to derail his steely-nerved opponent. The second of three FedexCup playoff events, where 69 players were vying for 30 spots in the upcoming Tour Championship, the tournament at Olympia Fields Country Club near Chicago proved a tough test, with just five golfers finishing the four rounds under par. Rounding out the top five finishers were Chilean Joaquin Niemann (67) and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama (69), who finished tied for third at 2-under, and American Tony Finau (65), who was fifth at 1-under
