The American Dustin Johnson confirmed his regularity at the highest level on Sunday by winning the Travelers Championships at Cromwell.
The former world No. 1 thus accesses the very closed club of golfers who have won at least one tournament over 13 consecutive seasons of the PGA Tour.
“I’m proud to continue my streak, and I want to make it longer, but it’s been a long time since I won. I hope the next win won’t be long,” said Johnson (36), who hadn’t won a tournament since February 2019.
At Cromwell, Dustin Johnson took advantage of the collapse of Brendon Todd, who led at the start of the fourth round before making a 75, five strokes over the par, mainly because of a triple bogey at the 12th hole. The American, who had started badly, caught up on Saturday with a brilliant 61, and finished the tournament with a total of 261 (69-64-61-67).
Irregular on the last lap, with six birdies all the same, Johnson remained under the threat of Kevin Streelman, who failed to catch up by missing birdie chances on the last five holes. The world number 1 Rory McIllroy, finished with a total of 267, tied for 11th with eight other players.
