Aug. 23 (UPI) — Dustin Johnson returned to No. 1 in the world with an 11-shot win over Harris English on Sunday in The Northern Trust at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass.
Johnson, who shot 60 in Friday’s second round, carried his red-hot play into the weekend and finished at 30-under 254. It was the 22nd win of his PGA Tour career and his fifth victory in a FedEx Cup playoffs event — tied with Rory McIlroy for most.
Johnson finished the week with more eagles (five) than bogeys (three). It marked his second win since the Tour resumed play in June, and it was the first win on the Tour by 10-plus shots in about a decade.
English (69) finished at 19-under par, while Daniel Berger (67) ended up one stroke behind him for third. Kisner (66) and Scottie Scheffler (71) — who shot 59 in the second round — tied for fourth at 17-under 267.
