Jon Rahm makes a flawless 66-foot putt to win the US PGA Tour BMW Championship over world number one Dustin Johnson
Johnson had snaked in a 43-foot birdie at the same hole to force the playoff, joining Rahm on four-under-par 276 in the second event of the US tour's FedEx Cup playoffs.
Johnson, seeking a second straight win and 23rd tour title, started the day tied for the lead with Hideki Matsuyama with Rahm three adrift. "Once I teed off today, in the good weather and how I started striping it the first few holes, I knew I had a chance," said Rahm, who claimed his fifth tour title and his second in his last five starts.
He wasn't surprised, however, to find himself in a playoff, and went straight to the range to keep warm with Johnson still on the course and just one back.
