Justin Thomas, we hardly knew you as No. 1 in the world. Just four weeks into his reign, the 2017 PGA champion had the title swiped back by the man he swiped it from, Dustin Johnson.
It wasn't just that DJ won the FedEx St. Jude Classic by six strokes, his second blowout victory of the 2017-'18 season and his 18th career PGA Tour title. It's the stunning way he did it. Like a boa constrictor squeezing the air out of its prey, Johnson drained all the drama out of TPC Southwind … until he injected his a last little bit of his own.
How impressive was a 9-iron from 169 yards that two-hopped then rolled into the cup? Suffice it to say, Johnson stuck the landing, giving him a seventh top-10 finish in 11 starts this season. Johnson has now converted nine of his 16 54-hole leads into victory on tour.
How much money did everyone in the field at TPC Southwind earn? Here's a breakdown for all those who made the cut.
