After disqualifications and the lot of other breakdowns for Dustin Johnson this tournament season it must be a relief for Johnson to walk away from the BMW championship with his second win of the season. Playing in the final group of the day, paired with Ryan Moore, both players are a sign of things to come for the PGA Tour, both young, strong, and determined to make a name for themselves it made for some great golf in the final round. Trailing by one entering the final two holes, Johnson took a risky tee shot on number 17 (a par 5) in order to put himself in striking distance of a birdie and the chance to take the lead. He did just that and stood on the 18th tee with a one shot lead over Paul Casey. While consistency has long been Johnson's shortcoming, there was no sign of any such emotion as he drilled his drive down the right hand side of the 18th fairway, on the green in two, he calmly two putted his way to the championship. The reception of Johnson's win was quite positive as the gallery exploded in cheers and congratulations. Johnson's -9 score, was the best shot at the championship since 1995. With Johnson's win, it seems quite clear why he has become a captain on the upcoming Ryder Cup Team. Perhaps, he will carry his positive momentum into the following Tour Championship, and beyond. For Team USA we can only hope..
