On the fifth extra hole (No. 18), lost with a bogey to Spieth's par. Enjoyed another incredible week in Moline. His final-round 68 marked his 20th consecutive round in the 60s at TPC Deere Run, dating to the first round of 2009.

• John Deere Classic: In an event he has played more than any other on the PGA TOUR, claimed his ninth TOUR win, at the John Deere Classic in July. It was his 11th start in the Quad Cities event. In a playoff against Troy Matteson, on the first extra hole he made a 5-foot putt for double bogey at No. 18 to extend the playoff. From the fairway bunker, also at 18 on the second extra hole, hit his approach shot to within six inches and tapped in for the win when Matteson missed his bid for birdie. With the victory, he stopped three-time defending champion Steve Stricker from winning a fourth straight title. Stricker finished T5. The win also moved Johnson to No. 2 in FedExCup standings.
• Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial: Entered the final round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial trailing Jason Dufner by one stroke, but a 2-over 72 (Dufner shot 74) was enough for a one-stroke victory—making him the 12th multiple winner at Colonial (also won in 2010). The tournament basically came down to a two-man competition over the final 36 holes, with a triple bogey on the par-4 15th Sunday by Dufner helping secure his second win at Colonial. Things got interesting on the final hole, however, as he violated Rule 20-7 as he played his ball on the green from the wrong place, leading to a two-stroke penalty. The victory (the eighth of his career) was the fourth in the state of Texas, compared to three in Georgia and one in Hawaii. It also gave him multiple wins in three tournaments (2004 and 2007 AT&T Classic and 2008 and 2009 Valero Texas Open are the others). Final-round, 2-over 72 snapped a string of 15 consecutive rounds in the 60s at Colonial, dating to the first round in 2009.

It marked the sixth runner-up finish of his career and first since the 2009 John Deere Classic. Previous-best finish at the RBC Heritage was sixth in 2007.

• Wells Fargo Championship: Finished T6 at the Wells Fargo Championship, with his final three rounds all in the 60s.
