Spieth's still salty over DJ's 341-yard drive at Northern Trust
Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth gave golf fans an unbelievable day of golf in the final round of The Northern Trust.
After dropping a 17-foot putt on No. 18 to force a playoff, Johnson unleashed a 341-yard drive on the first extra hole, leaving just a wedge for his approach into the green. The 33-year-old would knock his second to a couple of feet, and tap-in for birdie and the title.
With the playoffs taking a week off, the PGA Tour posted Johnson's drive on their Instagram account Friday, adding, "Just gonna spend the off week looking at this on repeat."
The 24-year-old Texan took notice of the post, replying, "I'd rather have a beer."
