Like every other golf fan watching, Jon Rahm couldn't believe what happened in the playoff of the BMW Championship. 9WWOS BMWChampionship PGATour
His only bogey on the weekend came on the fifth hole Saturday when he spaced out and picked up his golf ball from the green without marking it.
He put behind him the one-shot penalty that even on Saturday he worried would come back to haunt him, and he thought about it briefly when Johnson had the long birdie putt on the 18th in regulation. "I think we all want the flashy finish, maybe not the stress that comes with it," Rahm said. "But I set out with myself to enjoy even the uncomfortable moments we had out there today. And man, it was fun."
Johnson, a 54-hole leader for his third straight tournament and coming off an 11-shot victory last week at the TPC Boston, birdied three of his opening four holes to open a three-shot lead, dropped a pair of shots around the turn and then delivered in the clutch with his 45-foot birdie putt on the last hole for a 67.
