There seems to be no stopping the Dustin Johnson juggernaut. With another out-of-the-world performance, the American captured the World Golf Championship-Dell Match Play last week — his third win in his last three starts.

If there was any doubt who is the world’s best player at the moment, this should definitely settle all disputes. Johnson has not only been dominant, he has proven his form over both formats — strokeplay and match play.

Johnson has also comprehensively won what was turning out to be a dogfight for the world’s No1 tag between the world’s top four-five players. He has now opened up enough gap on top of the rankings to secure the No. 1 spot even if he does not win next week’s Masters.

It was some performance by the American in Austin, where he never trailed even once in all his seven matches. Having said that, he was given a mighty fight by the young Spaniard Jon Rahm in the final, where the 22-year-old fought back brilliantly from five-down after eight holes to take the match to the 18th hole.

There is so much more to Johnson than just his power game. Those booming drives are a pleasure to watch, but that is backed up by superb short-game skills. I thought his putting was just out of the charts throughout the whole week. He rarely missed anything in the 10-15 feet range, which, according to me, are the most important putts in golf.

Johnson’s post-match comments made for interesting reading. He reckons he can improve in each area of his game, which would really be worrying news for his competitors. I think even if he manages to play at the same level, he will be hard to beat at the Masters next week.

I am not the biggest fan of the round-robin groups in the match play, but it has delivered the desired result for the sponsors and organisers for the third straight year. In Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and now Johnson, the tournament has now got the world’s top player as their winner in the past three years.

And yet, you’d really want every match to be do-or-die in match play. I’d rather have winners like Geoff Ogilvy and Steve Stricker in the past, because that is the true spirit and beauty of the format.

We are going to hear a lot about Rahm in the future. It has been a remarkable rise already as he has improved to No. 14 in the world rankings in less than a year of turning professional. He seems to be blessed not only with a solid overall game, but also excellent disposition and attitude on the golf course.
