Wow! Just Wow!
Sunday at the BMW Championship came down to the two top players in the world in one for the ages!
Dustin Johnson, trailing Jon Rahm by one with the 18th hole to play, makes an incredible birdie to tie, the icing on the (cup) cake a 43 foot downhill double breaker. The putt was over 10 feet longer than any putt DJ had made all week.
Then in the playoff, Rahm drained a 66-foot rollercoaster of a putt for birdie that would rival Space Mountain for the thrill of a lifetime.
“I was just trying to hit my spot on the top of the slope about 10, 12 feet left of the pin and honestly hope it would be a decent putt for par coming back and hopefully have a chance to keep the playoff going,” Rahm said. “Luckily, it just looked really, really good on the way. When it had 10 feet to go, it was striking beautifully. I can hardly believe it.”
Rahm closed with a final round 64.
