Johnson jumped 54 spots from No. 72 to No. 18 on the FedEx Cup leaderboard with 898 points in just nine events. That puts him 837 points behind leader Jason Duffner. Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods are the only golfers above Johnson who have competed in nine or fewer events.
McIlroy moved up two spots after his finish at the St. Jude Classic, but missed a chance to rise even higher when he double-bogeyed 18 on Sunday with the tournament title still in his sights. The Irishman leapfrogged Phil Mickelson and Matt Kuchar to land at No. 6.
