"It's by far my signature win, and yeah, the feeling to actually make the put and realize, 'Hey, you've got it … there's not going to be a playoff, there's not going to be anything, it's yours,'" Johnson said. "Obviously it hasn't completely sunk in. The money hasn't sunk in, but the fact that I won on this course with this field – that felt good."
