Dustin Johnson wins as Tony Finau falters late at the Saudi International

KING ABDULLAH ECONOMIC CITY, Saudi Arabia – Top-ranked Dustin Johnson won the Saudi International for the second time in three years on Sunday after shooting a 2-under 68 in the final round to finish two strokes clear of Justin Rose and Tony Finau.

Johnson, who was also runner-up in 2020, recorded his highest scoring round of the tournament at Royal Greens Golf Club but still finished top of the leaderboard at 15 under par.

Scotland’s Calum Hill eagled the par-5 18th to finish in a tie for fourth with France’s Victor Perez.

Johnson took a two-shot lead into the final round, but the Masters champion struggled on the greens and was caught by Finau when his fellow American made a hat-trick of birdies from the 11th.
