Three spotlight rounds from the final round of the Tour Championship on Sunday:
DUSTIN JOHNSON
36-37-73 (+3)
The fairways were elusive for Johnson, who had or shared the lead after the first three rounds of the Tour Championship. While others were making a move up the leaderboard, Johnson posted bogeys. He had back-to-back bogeys on Nos. 5 and 6. After the sixth hole, he was two strokes off the lead and never recovered. Johnson hit 6 of 14 fairways for the round of 73. He also hit six fairways in the third round but still managed a 1-under par 69. Johnson lost out on the $10 million FedEx Cup when Rory McIlroy won in a playoff.
RYAN MOORE
31-33-64 (-6)
Moore made a charge. He shot a 64 on Sunday, the lowest round of the tournament to fight his way into the playoff. The effort got him to 12-under par for the Tour Championship. Moore had a bogey-free round with six birdies, four on the front and two on the back. The finish got him in the three-way playoff with Rory McIlroy and Kevin Chappell. McIlroy, Paul Casey and Moore all shot 64s. A Moore victory in the Tour Championship would have given the FedEx Cup title to Johnson.
SEAN O’HAIR
34-31-65 (-5)
O’Hair shot the fourth-lowest round of the day – while making just five pars. The other 13 scores were nine birdies and four bogeys. He had two stretches of three consecutive birdies on Nos. 4-6 and Nos. 11-13. He nearly finished a stroke better and with another run of three birdies in a row but his 17-foot birdie putt on the final hole just missed by just under two feet. He finished the tournament at even par.
