Johnson recently won the LIV Golf Boston tournament, marking his first victory in the last 19 months. And the winning shot was not some ordinary hit off the club. The golfer made a 35-foot eagle putt on the very first hole of the playoff. It was one of the biggest moments for the player in a long time.
Johnson slapped hands with his caddie and brother Austin Johnson right after making the hole. The golfer made $4 million with this win and has made $9,962,500 in the last four events.
After his game, he described his feelings about the wonderful shot. He said, “I might have hit it a little harder than I wanted to… it was on a good line, and I’m like, ‘hit the hole, hit the hole, hit the hole,’ and it went in somehow.”
