Dustin Johnson shot a 67 on Sunday at Cedar Ridge, then edged Branden Grace and Cam Smith on the first playoff hole to claim his second LIV Golf title at the Tulsa stop.
The 38-year-old American offset a triple bogey on the 10th hole with six birdies, highlighted by a final-hole gain to reach 17-under par to join Grace and Smith in a playoff.
Playing the par-4 18th in overtime, Johnson made birdie to his second career LIV Golf win.
The win earned Johnson $4,000,000 and plenty of momentum heading into the season’s second major, the PGA Championship.

3 Questions: Dustin Johnson
Q. It was a battle on the last hole. You had triple bogey earlier in the day. You were able to come back and take it home. What was going through your mind all day long?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, not a whole lot until I made 7 on 10, and then things obviously got a little more interesting.
But I was able to battle back and made a nice birdie on the next hole on 11, hit some really nice shots on 12 and 13, just so did Grace. We all missed really short putts on 12 and 13.
But yeah, just played solid. Obviously made a really nice putt on 18 in regulation and then another good one in the playoff.
Q. How does this compare to your win in Boston?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: I mean, all wins are good. It would be the same. I want to win as much as possible.
But obviously winning in a playoff, too, for the second time, next time I’d like to win without going into a playoff would be a lot less stressful.
Q. You’re obviously in great form going into the PGA Championship next week. Do you feel ready to go?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah, the game is in really good shape. I feel like I’m doing everything really well right now, so yeah, I’m really looking forward to next week, obviously get up there tonight and get out and get a little practice in tomorrow.
