2016 WGC Bridgestone Results
So much for a post-U.S. Open letdown.
Playing in his first tournament since capturing the year’s second major championship, Dustin Johnson took down another stacked field–and a stacked leaderboard–at the WGC-Bridgestone.
DJ, who again entered the final round facing a multi-shot deficit, shot a 66 on Sunday, while Jason Day and Scott Piercy, who began Sunday as co-leaders, each shot rounds in the 70’s for the first time all week.
Here’s a look at the final leaderboard:

Read on for highlights from Sunday:
Round 4 Highlights
Jordan Spieth’s first highlight of the day came before his round started:
Kevin Chappell got off to a nice start with an eagle on No. 2 and birdie on No. 3 to pull within two strokes of Jason Day’s lead. Unfortunately for the 29-year-old, who shot a blistering 30 on the front nine, he was chasing a player who he has finished second behind twice this season.
And, on cue, Day chipped in an eagle on No. 2 to put himself two strokes clear of the field:
Johnson, who entered three strokes behind, the lead, continued to lurk. After a field-best 66 in the third round, he started Sunday with three birdies on his first six holes, including one on a 26-foot putt:
Shortly after that, Spieth knocked in back-to-back birdies, making it all three of the world’s top players in Top 6 (and eventually the Top 3):
Matt Kuchar was realistically out of contention for most of the round, but he secured a Top-5 finish after this impressive chip for birdie:
For a while, it looked like Day was coasting to yet another victory, but then DJ knocked in two-straight birdies at Nos. 13 and 14 to cut the lead to one:
Meanwhile, after a gorgeous par save on 13, the World No. 1 began to uncharacteristically fall apart. He missed a normally automatic five-foot putt to bogey No. 15, then proceeded to find the water on the “Monster” Par-5 16, finishing with a double-bogey:
That quickly dropped him to four-under, while Johnson continued his clutch play with a long putt on No. 17 to get to seven-under:
Johnson got into trouble on No. 18 but escaped with a bogey and got into the clubhouse at six-under, meaning Day and Scott Piercy need two birdies on the final two holes to force a playoff.
Neither could do it, and DJ captured his second win in as many starts.
