Masters champ Johnson wins again in Georgia

Zach Johnson is two-thirds of the way to the Georgia Slam.

OK, no such achievement exists, but anything seems possible for the Masters champion in the Peach State.

"Yeah, I'm not sure what it is," he said. "You know, for whatever reason, I've had success here."

Johnson won the AT&T Classic on Sunday in Duluth, Ga., beating Ryuji Imada with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.

Johnson, also the 2004 winner, closed with a 5-under 67 to match Imada (70) at 15-under 273 on the TPC Sugarloaf.

In the playoff on the par-5 18th, Johnson hit his second shot above the pin, then rolled a 60-footer for eagle within 5 inches of the hole. He now has three PGA Tour victories, each of them coming in Georgia.

Imada could only offer a congratulatory handshake. His tee shot landed in the left-side rough and his 3-wood failed to clear the water in front of the green.

Matt Kuchar (70), Camilo Villegas (71) and Troy Matteson (73) tied for third at 12 under.

Champions Tour

Defending champion Brad Bryant staged another final-day comeback at the Regions Charity Classic in Hoover, Ala., then beat R.W. Eaks on the third hole of a playoff to become the first player to win the tournament twice.

Bryant sank a nearly 13-foot birdie putt on the 470-yard, par-4 18th hole after both parred the hole twice in the playoff. Seeking his first Champions Tour win, Eaks had to settle for another two-putt par before Bryant's winning putt from beside the hole.

LPGA Tour

Lorena Ochoa won for the first time since replacing Annika Sorenstam as the No. 1 player in women's golf, and put an exclamation point on it by defending her Sybase Classic title in Clifton, N.J.

Ochoa caught front-running Sarah Lee and finished three strokes ahead, closing with a bogey-free 4-under 68 in the event that turned into match play after the top two distanced themselves from the field the day before.
