Zach Johnson 8th at PGA Championship

Zach Johnson notched his fourth straight Top 10 finish on the PGA Tour Sunday with a bogey-free, 2-under-par 68 in the final round of the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y.

Johnson, who played high school golf at Cedar Rapids Regis, never threatened the leaders but made a strong showing with 16 pars and two birdies in the final round. He finished at 3-under-par with rounds of 69-70-70-68 and tied for 8th place.

Johnson, a 9-time winner on the PGA Tour, registered his third Top 10 finish in the last five PGA Championships. It also was his second Top 10 finish in a major championship in 2013, following his sixth-place showing at the British Open at Muirfield, Scotland.
