Full set for Dustin

-

American Dustin Johnson became the first player to win all four World Golf Championsh­ips events when he claimed the WGC-DELL Matchplay in Texas yesterday. World No 1 and top seed Johnson beat Spanish 21st seed Jon Rahm 1-up in the 18-hole final at Austin Country Club. Johnson built a 5-up lead after eight holes and held on, though only barely, after a late Rahm rally that cut the lead to 1-up after 16 holes. In the match for third place, American Bill Haas beat Japan’s Hideto Tanihara 2 and 1, though the loser at least got to enjoy a hole-in-one at the par-three seventh.
