Determined Dustin shows why he's world No 1

OLD WESTBURY, New York - Dustin Johnson faced long odds all day against Jordan Spieth until Sunday's longest drive led to his playoff victory in The Northern Trust.

Johnson rallied from a five-shot deficit on the front nine. And on the final hole in regulation, after one of the most powerful players in golf chose to lay up from the rough, he drained an 18-foot par putt for a 4-under 66 to force a sudden-death playoff.

Returning to the 18th, Johnson felt the wind switch and took on the lake with a 341-yard tee shot - the longest of the week on that hole - that left him a lob wedge that he hit to within four feet of the pin.
