LOS ANGELES, AFP: Two-time major champion Dustin Johnson nabbed his second LIV Golf title Sunday, edging Cameron Smith and Branden Grace in a playoff at Cedar Ridge Country Club near Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Johnson birdied his final hole in regulation to get into the playoff then birdied the par-four 18th with a putt from off the green.

South Africa’s Grace had putted first in the playoff, also from the fringe, narrowly missing.

Australia’s British Open champion Smith was closest to the hole, but his putt was never on track.

Johnson scooped the $ 4 million first prize from the $ 25 million purse and joined Talor Gooch – winner of the previous two events – and Brooks Koepka as two-time winners in the Saudi-backed breakaway circuit’s first 14 events.

The former world number one had claimed his first LIV title at Boston last year.
