In a FedEx Cup playoff opener that felt like a heavyweight bout, Dustin Johnson delivered back-to-back blows to beat Jordan Spieth in The Northern Trust. It was great theater between Johnson and Spieth, good friends who now are No. On the closing hole, Johnson showed the kind of golf I.Q. It took the most clutch putt Johnson has made in his career, and he blasted his best drive of the week. On the ninth hole, Spieth took three putts from just off the left side the green, and Johnson made a 7-foot birdie putt for another two-shot swing.
