Dustin Johnson Beats Jason Day to Win WGC Bridgestone - Moves to OWGR #2

With his impressive win on Sunday over OWGR #1 Jason Day, Dustin Johnson put a lock on his #2 OWGR position inching closer to #2 ranked Jordan Spieth.Moreover, DJ  virtually assured himself a spot on the US Oylmpic golf and Ryder Cup teams.  For the second time in as many starts, DJ has knocked a prominent player down a peg in the Official World Golf Ranking. Johnson deposed Rory McIlroy at No. 3 with his win at the U.S. Open, and now after claiming the WGC-Bridgestone he has edged ahead of Jordan Spieth at No. 2 in the world by only 0.002 points. It marks a career-best ranking for Johnson, who turned 32 last month. Elsewhere in the rankings, Thongchai Jaidee and Francesco Molinari both benefited from high finishes at the Open de France. Jaidee rose 20 spots to No. 37 in the world, while Molinari's runner-up result helped him move up 23 spots to No. 55 in the latest standings. Scott Piercy's runner-up at Firestone, his second such result behind Johnson in as many starts, moved him up 18 spots to a career-best No. 25 in the world. Matt Kuchar finished T-3 in Akron, jumped two spots to No. 15 while Kevin Chappell moved up six spots to a career-best No. 32 after a T-3 finish. Next up, the Open Championship.
