DORAL. — American Dustin Johnson overcame JB Holmes’s five-stroke final-round lead for a one-shot victory at the WGC-Cadillac Golf Championships on Sunday, just over a month after returning from a half-year break from the game.
Johnson, in his fifth tournament since taking a leave of absence in July to deal with personal issues, carded a three-under 69 at Trump National Doral for his ninth PGA Tour win.
“All of them are good but this one might be the best for sure,” said Johnson, who kept his cool on the difficult 18th, which he had bogeyed in his three previous rounds, to make par and secure the win.
“I’ve been working hard on my game and been working hard on me, and so it means a great deal to have some success right out of the gate. It gives me a lot of confidence, too,” said Johnson. — AFP.
