Down the stretch of the Wells Fargo Championship, Brian Harman started to do what guys like Brian Harman are supposed to do when looking up at Dustin Johnson on a leaderboard. He was beginning to fade.

 

Harman made a three-putt bogey on the par-3 15th hole to drop to 8 under and looked as if he would become a footnote to Johnson's history as the world's No. 1 player tried for his fourth consecutive victory. 

 

Already in the clubhouse at 9 under, Johnson (who shot his second-straight 67 on Sunday) was yukking it up with Pat Perez (also 9 under) as they watched to see if Harman could birdie one of the final two holes to join them in a playoff after fending off most of the rest of a tightly-bunched leaderboard. 

 

But Harman birdied them both and swiped the Wells Fargo Championship for victory No. 2 on the PGA Tour. And he did it about as dramatically as one can do it.

Harman hit a shot from 143 yards out to five feet on the 17th hole for an easy birdie to get back to 9 under with a hole to play. Then on the 72nd hole of the tournament, staring at history sitting in the clubhouse, Harman stole the show. The little lefty pushed his second shot over the back left of the green and flubbed the chip on the long par 5.

 

Harman buried the 28-foot putt and fist pumped harder than any of the whimsical blows Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. threw on Saturday night in his fight against Canelo Alvarez.
