Despite missing 16 putts inside of 10 feet, Johnson was able to hold off Tommy Fleetwood, who finished at 13-under. This is Johnson’s 6th win since the beginning of last year and 2nd in his last two starts.
Ross Fisher and rookie sensation, Jon Rahm finished T3 at 12-under. Rounding out the Top-5 are Thomas Pieters and Justin Thomas, who both finished at 11-under-par.
This week was filled with great shots and a ton of hole-outs. To wrap up the coverage in Mexico City, here are the best 3 shots from the WGC-Mexico Championship.
Drinks On Justin Thomas
Despite a frustrating final round, Justin Thomas does have good memories to look back on from his trip to Mexico. Thomas recorded the shot of the tournament at the 232-yard Par-3 13th, recording his 21st ace of his lifetime.
It is only fitting to watch Thomas’s ace in Español.
