Dustin Johnson earned his first career LIV Golf victory in dramatic fashion on Sunday afternoon.
Johnson finished the tournament tied with Anirban Lahiri and Joaquin Neimann forcing a three-way playoff to decide a winner. With ice water in his veins, Johnson sunk a 35-foot eagle putt on the first playoff hole to win the LIV Golf Invitational in Boston.

"Yeah it was going a little fast, but it was a good line," Johnson said, describing the speed of his eagle putt. "I felt like I played really well all week, I felt like I got some unlucky breaks here the first time around. It owed me one, and I got it."
With the victory, Johnson takes home a purse of $4M . His LIV Golf team, the 4 Aces, including Johnson, Talor Gooch, Pat Perez, and Patrick Reed, took home the team title earning each player $750K.
The inaugural LIV Golf season continues Sept. 16-18 in Chicago.
