Johnson fired a six-under 66 for a three-stroke win after starting the final round of the USPGA Tour event at the Glen Abbey course in a four-way tie for the lead. The win was the 19th title of his career and comes just over a week after he failed to make the cut at Carnoustie.
Johnson finished at 23-under 265, finally breaking through in an event he finished runner-up in 2013 and 2016. South Koreans Kim Whee and An Byeong-hun finished second after they each shot 69. They and Kevin Tway were tied for the 54-hole lead with Johnson. Keegan Bradley had a 64 to finish fourth at 19 under. He shot 63 on Friday, but had a 73 in the third round. Tway closed with a disappointing 76 to drop into a tie for 17th at 13 under.
