Dustin Johnson


Atlanta, Georgia, USA

East Lake Golf Club

Quick Quotes


Q. You had the lead by five to begin the day. You had a lot of really strong players getting close to you and got within two. What's it like playing with a large lead like that?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, it's a difficult golf course, so no lead is really safe. You know, I knew I was going to have to come out and play really well. Got off to a really good start, missed a couple putts there on the back side. Just obviously if you don't drive it in the fairway, it's a difficult golf course.

But I hit the fairways when I needed to coming down the stretch, and yeah, I mean, obviously the guys gave me a good fight today.

Q. You normally don't state your goals publicly, not even privately. Dan just mentioned that you went out this week and said, I need to win this week. Why was winning the FedExCup, winning here at the TOUR Championship, so important? Why was it important for you to tell people that?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: I didn't say I needed to win. I wanted to win. I wanted to be a FedExCup champion. That was something that in my career I would like to be, and obviously today I got the FedExCup.

Yeah, very proud of the way I played. Obviously I played really good over the last -- especially the last four tournaments. Yeah, so I'm looking forward to it.

Obviously got a few days off and then the U.S. Open, so not really much of a break, but yeah, I'm definitely pleased to be FedExCup champion.
