WASHINGTON -- World number one Dustin Johnson rediscovered his driving form to fire a six-under par 64 and seize a five-stroke lead after Sunday's third round of the US PGA Tour Championship.
Johnson found 11 fairways on Sunday, blasting his tee shots beyond 300 yards to set up seven birdies, after matching a career low Saturday despite finding only two fairways to stand last in driving accuracy. PGA Championship runner-up Johnson, who won two weeks ago in Boston and lost a playoff last week to Rahm, has his fourth consecutive 54-hole lead -- the first player with such a streak since Tiger Woods in 1999 -- with compatriots Thomas and Xander Schauffele second on 14-under.
Fellow American Daniel Berger, who birdied the last three holes to shoot 64, was sixth on 10-under alongside South Korea's Im Sung-jae, who began the day one stroke behind Johnson but shot 72.Johnson began Sunday with a one-shot lead on Im and pulled away quickly, his 312-yard opening drive into the middle of the fairway setting a tone for the day.
Johnson dropped his approach inches from the cup at seven and tapped in for birdie to reach 15-under.
