Joel Dahmen (-15) Video Play Button Videos you might like Johnson got his day started off right with back-to-back birdies on his first two holes: That was a trend for Johnson throughout the RBC Canadian Open. He gained 10 combined shots in the first three holes over the four rounds. Johnson enjoyed a lot of success on the 16th hole as well. He eagled the hole in the first and third rounds and carded a birdie Sunday. That birdie all but sealed up the title, as it gave Johnson a three-shot lead with only two holes left to play. Johnson's approach on No. 16 showed why he handled the hole so well. The distance (516 yards) might seem imposing to some golfers, but the 2016 U.S. Open champion could get on the green in two shots: According to PGATour.com, Johnson's 322.8 yards per drive were fourth-most in the tournament, and his 57 greens in regulation were tied for first. His consistency—particularly after the opening round—was the biggest reason for his victory. Between Friday and Sunday, Johnson had three bogeys in total. Kim birdied No. 18. It was too little, too late after pars on the four previous holes prevented him from making up any ground on Johnson. Likewise, An's birdie on the 18th hole couldn't make up for his failure to keep pace with the leader. Bradley made a late charge up the leaderboard, finishing eight under in the final round. He eagled the ninth hole, his fifth one of the tournament. According to GOLFonCBS, the 2011 PGA Championship winner was one of five golfers since 1983 to have at least five eagles in one event: Bradley teed off more than an hour before Johnson, though, so he was stuck in the clubhouse and powerless to do anything as Johnson protected his lead. Johnson encountered a setback at The Open Championship, where he failed to make the cut at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland. But that was one of the few blemishes on an otherwise strong 2018 campaign. After Sunday, Johnson has three wins and nine top-10 finishes in 14 events. Golf Digest's Mike O'Malley noted how Johnson has remained consistent over the past three years after seemingly reaching a turning point in his career in 2016: According to OddsShark's Stephen Campbell, Johnson was tied with Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy (+1200, bet $100 to win $1,200) as the favorites to win the 2018 PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club in Town and Country, Missouri. Johnson might edge ahead of Spieth and McIlroy when the odds are updated based on the RBC Canadian Open.<doc-sep>As Dustin Johnson was leaving the clubhouse at the Glen Abbey Golf Club, he paused, looked around at the assembled media, and smiled. "I hope to see y'all tomorrow," said Johnson, laughing. The world No. 1 was in a four-way tie with fellow American Kevin Tway and South Koreans Byeong Hun An and Whee Kim atop the leaderboard after three rounds at the Canadian Open. Johnson surged up the standings on Saturday behind a 7-under 65 performance to reach 17 under overall. Followed by massive crowds wherever he went, Johnson set the pace for the rest of the field, firing seven birdies and an eagle. Five of those birdies came in the opening six holes. Despite playing so well, Johnson thinks he'll need to be even more aggressive to win the tournament. "I like the golf course, I feel like my game's in really good form, I've got a lot of confidence in it," said Johnson, who tied for second in the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey in 2013 and 2016 but has yet to win the event. "I'm going to have to go out and play really well tomorrow. There's definitely low numbers out here. "There's a lot of guys right around the lead and somebody's going to go shoot low. Hopefully it's me." RBC Canadian Open Golf Wrap: 4-way tie at the top heading into final round Sports 2:24 Dustin Johnson, Kevin Tway, Byeong Hun An and Whee Kim all sit at 17 under heading into Sunday's final round. 2:24 An (66) climbed three spots up the leaderboard, while Kim shot a 67 at the $6.2-million US PGA Tour event. Second-round leader Tway, who was paired with Kim, birdied on the par-5 18th hole to shoot a 68 and split the tie a fourth way. Tway's father Bob won the Canadian Open in 2003 at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club. The younger Tway said on Saturday that he was aware he had to play catch-up with Johnson. "Yeah, I looked [at the leaderboard] a little bit. He started off really hot," said Tway, noting that the key to Glen Abbey is to attack the front nine and final three holes, but play more conservatively on Nos. 11-15 because they sit in a deep valley with a ravine and plenty of rough. For his part, Kim isn't intimidated by Johnson's popularity and isn't concerned with whether he's chasing or holding a lead. "Chasing the lead or holding the lead, it doesn't matter. Just play your game," said Kim. "Everybody's going to say the same thing. It doesn't matter." Hard Sunday for rest of the field It will be difficult for the rest of the field to catch the top two pairs on Sunday. Known for its small greens and narrow fairways, pinpoint accuracy is necessary to stay out of the rough at Glen Abbey. Players have benefited from daily rain showers or storms this week that have kept things soft. No rain is predicted on Sunday, however, firming up the greens and making it more likely balls will find their way into the rough. Hudson Swafford and Rory Sabbatini are tied for fifth, four shots back of the leaders. Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., was the low Canadian after a 5-under 67 put him into a tie for 13th at 11 under overall. Calgary's Ryan Yip (66) moved 40 spots up into a tie for 21st, seven shots back of Johnson and Co. Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., eagled on 18 to save par to tie for 29th at 9 under. He was paired with Johnson for the round. "There's a lot of camera clicks," said Taylor. "I think I only had one putt where it somewhat bothered me. I should have backed off. But no, it was fun to have that many people. It's definitely electric, and when I can chip in like that and make a putt on 18, it's fun." Even though he's the top player on the PGA Tour, Johnson insists he's only popular in Canada by proxy — his fiancee Paulina Gretzky is the daughter of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky. "Well, I can thank Wayne for that," said Johnson. "There's a lot of Gretzky fans out there, and so they tend to pull for me, which thanks, Wayne, I appreciate that. I do get a lot of love up here, and the fans have been great this week." David Hearn (69) of Brantford, Ont., and Ben Silverman (73) of Thornhill, Ont., are tied for 43rd at 7 under. Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C., and Chris Crisologo of Richmond, B.C., Canada's only amateur to make the cut, are tied for 53rd, at 6 under.<doc-sep>Did you know you can save your preferences across all your digital devices and platforms simply by creating a profile?

OAKVILLE, Ont. – Dustin Johnson’s only goal Sunday at the RBC Canadian Open was to play the par 5s better. Mission accomplished, and it resulted in a victory. Johnson birdied all four of the par fives at Glen Abbey Golf Club en route to a 6-under-par 66, and captured his third event of the season by three shots over Whee Kim and Byeong Hun An. He retained his spot on top of the FedExCup standings with the victory. It was his 19th-career TOUR win, all since 2008. He topped Tiger Woods’ record of 18 in the last decade, and the significance of his accomplishment wasn’t lost on Johnson. “Obviously I’m doing something very well,” he said. “To even be mentioned in the same sentence as Tiger means a lot. What he’s done for the game, the things he’s done in the game. No one is ever really going to get to that level.” Johnson, who was buoyed by Canadian crowd support all week long – a chant of “Let’s Go DJ” broke out as he was walking to the 18th green – and said he felt like an “honorary Canadian.” The fans even sang a rendition of “O Canada,” the country’s national anthem, at Johnson – who grew up in South Carolina and lives in Florida. “The fans were great. All week there was a ton of support,” said Johnson, who has two second-place finishes at Glen Abbey. “It’s been great and everyone has been great to me up here.” Johnson said every win is “sweet” but confirmed it’s been more fun to find the winner’s circle since becoming a father. “To be able to share it with my family is definitely important and definitely means a lot more,” he said. “I talked to Paulina a little while ago and they were watching from home. So it's always cool to hear that your little man's watching you on TV.” There was a weather delay of one hour, 46 minutes on Sunday, but Johnson wasn’t fazed. He made four birdies on the back nine after the delay, and pulled away after playing partner An made a bogey on the par-4 10th. He spoke about how it was important to hold the led on the FedExCup standings going into The TOUR Championship, and said anytime he could build a lead in the standings, it’s a positive. “Obviously right now I'm in a very good position,” he explained. “I'm going to have to continue to play well though if I want to be in that number one spot heading into Atlanta for the Tour Championship.” Claude Harmon III, Johnson’s coach, said his pupil worked hard on his putting early in the week after two frustrating days on the greens. “He works so hard on and off the golf course and he put in the work this week, and got it done,” Harmon said. Johnson said it was important to get off to a good start. He birdied his first two holes and continued to play well. “If I could get ahead, I feel like I could play well and keep myself in the lead for the rest of the day, which I did,” he said. Johnson led the field in Driving Distance and was co-leader this week in Greens in Regulation. It was that combination that ended up putting him on top. “He feels good on a golf course like this, with so many wedged in his hand. He can make birdies with his wedge game,” Harmon said. “And when he plays like this, he’s one of those guys who are tough to beat.”
