Dustin Johnson shot a flawless final-round 63 to claim an 11-stroke blowout victory at The Northern Trust.
Entering Sunday’s finale at TPC Boston with a five-shot advantage, Johnson proceeded to eagle the par-5 2nd hole, then added birdies on Nos. 4, 5, 7 and 8 to reach 28 under at the turn.
The rout was on.
He carded two more birdies on his inward nine, highlighted by a final-hole gain on No. 18 to hit 30-under par, 11 shots ahead of runner-up Harris English (69).
On the day, DJ finished with 11 pars, six birdies and one eagle to claim his second win of the season and 22nd career PGA Tour title.
With the victory, the 36-year old South Carolina native moves to No 1 (from No. 15) in the FedExCup standings, and a return to the top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings.

Quotable
“Obviously this is a really good week. I’ve really — my ball-striking was unbelievable. I found something on Wednesday. Felt like I was swinging really good but something clicked on Wednesday.
“Really Hit It Well…”
“I really, really hit it well on Thursday. I didn’t really make a lot of putts, but I really went and worked hard on my putting on Thursday afternoon, and it paid off. Obviously I rolled it really nicely on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.”
