For Dustin Johnson, last year's Fall Series offered a chance to climb the money list. A victory at the Turning Stone Resort Championship, though, changed his outlook on 2009.
Now the Coastal Carolina standout has a two-year exemption and invitations to the winners-only Mercedes-Benz Championship and the Masters, among other perks. What had started as a year of promise with three top-12s in his first four starts was fulfilled.
Johnson was the second-youngest winner on TOUR behind Anthony Kim. Interestingly, he was the only player to lead the field in driving distance and also go on to win. -- Helen Ross
