It become the last time the RBC Canadian Open became to be performed at Glen Abbey, and Dustin Johnson failed to want to waste the possibility.

So the new RBC ambassador didn't. After a few close calls in Canada, he ran far from the sphere for a three-shot victory.

There's now not a great deal to say about it, really. DJ essentially played the par-5s with driver and wedge, setting him 4-under on his very last spherical with little or no effort. Three more birdies (towards a unmarried bogey) became Sunday's spherical into a informal stroll to victory.

A stroll interrupted by means of a rain delay, but we all understand that DJ isn't bothered by using little such things as that.

The large information wasn't the win a lot as what the win did for him. It gave him 19 total PGA Tour wins in his career, tied for third amongst energetic players on the principle tour; made him the primary participant seeing that Tiger to win at the least 3 times in each of three consecutive years; and it vaulted him to the pinnacle of the FedExCup standings.

To be sincere, DJ has gained so much over the previous few years that I'm strolling out of superlatives to explain how he performs. When his recreation is a little off, we all march out the "he doesn't work difficult sufficient" talk. But whilst he has all of it collectively, the rest of the field can most effective shake their heads and desire he'd paintings even less. Counting his missed reduce at the Open, he is got two wins, a 3rd location end and a T8 in his remaining 5 activities. How practical are the court cases?

I'm no longer complaining, DJ. Here, have any other Limerick Summary on me.

For DJ, it?S nineteen and counting;

The case for his greatness is mounting!

Ten wins in three years

Gives his fanatics purpose to cheer
