players finished under par, the fewest since Woods was the

AKRON, Ohio -- Dustin Johnson sailed off to the Bahamas for a private celebration of winning his first major championship at the U.S. Open.He came roaring back at the Bridgestone Invitational. In the toughest conditions at Firestone in nearly a decade, Johnson made it look easy Sunday, when he closed with a 4-under 66 and rallied from a 3-shot deficit against the worlds No. 1 player to win another World Golf Championship.He needed some help from Jason Day, who collapsed on the back nine. Johnson did his part by making a tough par save on the 15th hole, when he got in range, and pouring in a 15-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole that made a bogey at the end meaningless.Two starts, two victories, and now No. 2 in the world.Its the first time Ive won two tournaments in a row, Johnson said after his 1-shot victory over Scott Piercy. I mean, thats big. Im excited and looking forward to going over to the British with the golf game in good form.Johnson looks like the player to beat at Royal Troon, with a frightening combination of driving, wedges and -- finally -- putts falling.Day was also looking forward to the British Open -- anything to take his mind off the finish. He had a 1-shot lead, then didnt hit a green in regulation over the last six holes.Far more damaging was the par-5 16th hole. He tried to play it safe off the tee on the 655-yard hole and hooked a 3-wood into the trees. He blasted through the branches and across the fairway and got a good break when a young fan picked up his ball, which allowed Day a free drop from behind a tree. Then, he tried to squeeze a shot from 200 yards around the pond. It came up short and rode the collar of the bank into the water, which led to double-bogey.I thought I had the right play, Day said. I was just trying to hit it up there to the left, get it just left of the bunker or just in the bunker there. ... Sometimes you take those risks, and it doesnt pay off. So it happens, but Im looking forward to the Open.Day rushed over to Johnson before signing his card to congratulate him.Piercy nearly overcame back-to-back bogeys, but two good looks at birdies burned the edges on the 16th and 17th holes, and a birdie on the closing hole made the deficit one shot and Piercy a runner-up for the second straight week. He tied for second behind Johnson in the U.S. Open.Inch here or inch there is kind of the difference between winning and finishing second or third, Piercy said.Johnson joined Tiger Woods as the only players to capture three of the four World Golf Championships. He won the Cadillac Championship at Doral last year and the HSBC Champions in Shanghai in the fall of 2013.His 66-66 weekend at Firestone gave him a 6-under 274 and matched the highest winning score at this World Golf Championship since Woods in 2005. Nine players finished under par, the fewest since Woods was the only player to break par in 2007.Day closed with a 72 and tied for third with Jordan Spieth (67), Matt Kuchar (66) and Kevin Chappell (67).Kuchar moved to No. 15 in the world, which could be important if he can stay in the top 15 and remain the sixth-highest American after next week, provided two Americans choose not to play in the Olympics. Bubba Watson is the only player of those eligible who has said for certain that he will go to Rio.Johnson was three shots behind when he rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt on the 13th hole and followed with a wedge into 8 feet for birdie on the next hole. Right when Day was getting into big trouble on the 16th, Johnson blasted a 9-iron out of the thick rough on the 17th to 15 feet a
