Johnson birdies last two holes to win 5th event of debut season

Zach Johnson won the Sanford International on Sunday at Minnehaha Country Club in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, birdieing his final two holes to finish at 11-under and edge Ben Crane by one stroke. The win was Johnson's fifth PGA Tour Champions victory of 2026, his debut season on the 50-plus circuit, matching Stewart Cink for the tour lead in wins. Johnson, a two-time major champion (2007 Masters, 2015 Open Championship), closed with a 4-under 66. The late birdie-birdie run denied Crane, who also shot 66 and finished birdie-birdie-bogey-birdie.
