ach Johnson had a great year in
2007, recording two victories,
including his first major title, qualifying
for a spot on the Presidents
Cup team and earning a career-best
$3,922,338. He made three birdies in a fourhole
stretch on the back nine to win his first
major title at the Masters. Johnson finished at
1-over 289, matching a Masters record established
in 1956 for highest winning score. He
posted rounds of 69-67 on the weekend to finish
at 15-under-par with Ryuji Imada at the
AT&T Classic. He clinched his third career
win and second at that event when he recorded
a birdie-4 on the first playoff hole. All
three of Johnson’s TOUR victories have come
in Georgia (two in suburban Atlanta, one in
Augusta). Looking to capture his fourth
career TOUR event in Georgia, the 2003
Nationwide Tour Player of the Year posted an
East Lake Golf Club course-record 10-underpar
60 in the third round of THE TOUR
Championship en route to a T2 finish, eight
behind winner Tiger Woods. Johnson finished
seventh in the FedExCup standings to
earn a $700,000 bonus.
