LAST YEAR: Dustin Johnson captured the BMW Championship for the second time and earned the third of his four playoff victories when he closed with a 5-under-par 67 to beat Paul Casey of England by three strokes at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Ind. Casey, who also shot 67 and finished as runner-up in the second straight playoff event, sank a 25-foot eagle putt on the 15th hole to trim Johnson's margin to one stroke. However, Johnson dropped in his own birdie putt at No. 15 moments later to re-establish a three-shot lead and went on to win for the third time in eight events, including his first major title in the U.S. Open at Oakmont.
