Johnson was told on the 12th tee that he might incur a one-stroke penalty at the end of his round, in relation to his ball moving on the fifth green. Johnson made the possibility of a deduction null and void, winning by three shots.

Leaderboard: Dustin Johnson (-4), Jim Furyk(-1), Scott Piercy (-1), Shane Lowry (-1),Sergio Garcia (Even), Branden Gace (Even)

It means people have to respect his ability to overcome adversity. And it means that this could be the first of a few more major victories.
