NORTHERN TRUST TOURNAMENT
World No 1 Dustin Johnson hunts down Jordan Spieth
New York — World No1 Dustin Johnson hunted down Jordan Spieth with a bogey-free round and then beat the reigning British Open champion with a birdie at the first playoff hole of the Northern Trust on Sunday. Johnson, who started the day three shots behind overnight leader Spieth, set himself up with a monster drive at the first playoff hole and finished off the win with a three-foot birdie putt. He tucked his approach in close for an almost certain birdie, so the writing was on the wall when Spieth was unable to make his long birdie attempt from the fringe. The two stars duelled down the back nine at Glen Oaks Club in Old Westbury, New York.
