World number one Dustin Johnson claimed a three-shot victory at the PGA Tour’s season-ending Tour Championship. His round to round score is 67-70-64-68 at East Lake Golf Club.
Let’s check out how Round 1 played out at East Lake Golf Club.

Round 1 Recap

Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm tied for the lead after the first round of the TOUR Championship

Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm lead -13

Johnson led by two strokes over Rahm entering round 1, because of his top finish within the season-long FedEx Cup standings, before Rahm caught him. Much last week, too. DJ also led entering the final round of the BMW before Rahm caught him.

At the Tour Championship, Johnson and Rahm exchanged birdies on the 2nd, 6th, 12th, 13th and 15th. Rahm closed the gap as he had one less bogey and another birdie, his 3 on the par-4 16th pulling him into a share of the lead. Johnson finished with a 3-under 67 and Rahm a 5-under 65, and both are at 13-under overall.

Justin Thomas -11

Justin Thomas is 2 shots back after moving to 11 under. Justin was the FedEx points leader heading into the 2019 Tour Championship but couldn’t maintain that position over the course of the tournament. He finished during a tie for third with Brooks Koepka as Rory McIlroy was crowned the champion. Thomas looked to possess vengeance firmly on his mind after he birdied three of his first four holes. His momentum stalled a touch from there as he bogeyed No. 7. Birdies on 14 and 18 solidified his hold on the third.

Round 2 Recap

Dustin Johnson (-13)

Maverick Dustin mizzle on the opponents after completing a round 2.

Following the 1st day at 67, Johnson finished with an even-par 70 on round 2. He began the tournament at 10 because of having the foremost points within the FedEx Cup standings.

He opened the BMW Championship with a 71 last week before rebounding with three rounds of 69, 69 and 67 to succeed in a four-hole playoff that he eventually lost to Jon Rahm. Johnson saw some bad luck on the rear nine, particularly with this putt plan to save par on No. 15: The front nine was an assortment for Johnson, though things did get off to a solid start. He birdied two of the primary six holes, including a 37-footer on No. 3:

Johnson finished his first nine holes with three birdies and two bogeys to go into the rear nine at one sick for the day. He struggled down the stretch with two more bogeys that forced him into a tie for the highest spot Sungjae Im -12

The South Korean,22 played his career-best game. In his second round makes birdie on the par-5 18th hole. he played incredible game throughout the day. He hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation and completing at 12 under for the tournament. He completed his day in 2nd place on the board. After a tee shot at the green on the 197-yard par-3 second, he missed a birdie attempt from 5-feet taking a par. This left Sungjae Im to even for the round.

Xander Schauffele (-11)

Xander Schauffele is in 3rd at 11 under Let’s not act surprised that the leader in strokes gained at this course over the last 10 years crushed in round 2 on Saturday. He closed with three birdies in his last four holes, and only a rather drive at the 18th kept him from making it four during a row to finish the day. I’m wary that he’s first in putting so far, but he’s three strokes better than he was at the halfway point in 2017 when he went on to win.

Round 3 Recap

Dustin Johnson opens five-shot lead after the third round of the TOUR Championship

Justin Thomas (-19)

Though he missed a 16-inch putt on Sunday within the third round, he did putt it quite a bit better than he did in either of the two days. He’ll need some help — whether that is the luck of holing out a couple of times as he did on the front nine for eagle on round 3. But he remains No. 1 within the field in strokes gained from tee to green. Another hot day with the putter, a couple of sloppy holes from D.J. on the front nine.

Xander Schauffele (-14)

If you’re taking the pre-tournament strokes applied to the present field out of it, Schauffele is leading this tournament. No surprise there, though, as he absolutely crushes at this golf links. He shot a 32 on the rear nine and has been making everything he’s watching on these greens.

Jon Rahm (-13)

Jon Rahm’s last five rounds are spectacular. The outlier within the group was a 74 at this event in Round 2 on Saturday, but he bounced back with a 66 on round 3 Sunday by making birdie at each of the last two holes. He started last week’s final round trailing Johnson the 54-hole leader by three before running him down and beating him during a playoff.

2020 3M Open rankings: Top 10 picks

1. Tony Finau

During a tournament with some defeated (or previously absent) top names, big fella Finau is perhaps best positioned to drive it everywhere TPC Twin Cities and score.

2. Matthew Wolff

The defending champ is coming off a solid T22 at Muirfield Village where all parts of his game looked remarkable.

3. Dustin Johnson

DJ shot 80-80 last week. His short memory is apparently his greatest asset.

4. Tommy Fleetwood

Fleetwood hasn’t played within the in the resumption of professional golf. This may really be something thing given how many of the bigger names this week are damaged.

5. Brendon Todd

We prefer Todd this week, in large part, because he’s been more solid than others. He let the Travelers slip away, but he’s still notching good finishes within the restart.

6. Brooks Koepka

The knee clearly isn’t that good. There’s still something wrong. Can he take a couple of days easy then begin and lightweight it up?

7. Harris English

Harris English has been strong in his last two beginnings, and his T-13 at Memorial was amazing in his return from coronavirus.

8. Russell Henley

Henley’s been playing quite well recently and made two of three cuts in the restart. He was T-7 within the Workday.

9- Paul Casey

Casey has played twice in the restart, and he missed the cut a week ago after a T-32 at Travelers. Difficult to have a perspective on him this week, however, he’s ranked higher within the OWGR which is as it should be.

10- Sam Burns

The 23-year-old had been in the best 30 in his last three beginnings, including a T-17 at the Workday.

Justin Thomas

Young Justin Thomas Wins the Trophy of WGC – FedEx St. Jude Invitational

The name of many great players reminded at the top for the first three days/round but Justin Thomas played such a great game on the last day and wins the trophy of WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational as well as a bank over $1.8 million.

Fire Ants? Fire Ants.

Bryson DeChambeau opened with a 67, yet it’s his drop on the seventh hole that we’ll recall. His drive stopped against certain sticks left of the fairway, and he seemed to believe that he was entitled to relief because there have been fire ants near his ball. No seriously. Fire ants. Also, they were around five feet from his stance!

Fortunately, PGA Tour rules official Ken Tackett (whom you’ll remember because the second rules official from the Fence Incident at Muirfield Village) was having none of it. DeChambeau played the ball because it lay and aroused with a double-bogey six. Let us take you to the recap of the whole round.

Round 3 Saturday 01 August 2020

The third round of the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational was a wild, up-and-down Moving Day that resulted during a neatly separated leaderboard. Here’s how the top of the leaderboard stands after Day 3.

Brendon Todd -12

Brendon Todd signed for a 1-under 69 on Saturday to stay on top at WGC-FedEx St. Jude but saw his lead shrink to at least one shot with 18 holes remaining.

Todd made five birdies in Round 3, however, four bogeys kept him from building a bigger cushion in pursuit of his third victory this season. He won the Mayakoba Classic and Bermuda Championship in the fall of 2019.

Todd just hit half of his fairways at TPC Southwind during the third round, regardless of one among the foremost accurate drivers of the ball on Tour. He also ranks 75th within the driving distance out of a field of 78

Byeong Hun -11

Byeong Hun An leads the chase of Todd after posting 66 on Saturday. He poured in four straight birdies late within the round to make his climb the leaderboard. He hasn’t won on either the PGA Tour or European Tour since 2015 when he took the distinguished BMW PGA Championship.

Final Round Sunday 02 August 2020

Justin Thomas

He started the final round in fifth place. Never before has he won after starting the ultimate round so low on the leaderboard. He also trailed by four, matching the most important final-round deficit he’s overcome on the PGA TOUR.

The victory kept him on an elite pace. Since 1960, only Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have reached 13 wins at a younger age. Thomas is 27 years old. He shot 13-under 267 (66-70-66-65) for four rounds at TPC Southwind.

Thomas and Koepka, the past two winners of this event, had separated themselves from the sector at that time, but Thomas seemed to have the tournament in hand when Koepka’s own pitch to the 16th rolled over the green. The bogey gave Thomas a two-shot lead.

Tom Lewis

Tom Lewis hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation and completing at 10 under for the tournament. He completed his day tied for 2nd at 10 under with Daniel Berger, Brooks Koepka, and Phil Mickelson, he got $695,000.
