  • Champion: Dustin Johnson wins 2021 Saudi International

    World number one Dustin Johnson claimed his second Saudi International title in two years, winning by two shots and finishing 15 under par.

    Johnson, 34, has been a dominant figure at the Saudi International, winning the inaugural Championship in 2019 and finishing runner-up in 2020.

    A hat-trick of birdies on the 11th from fellow American Tony Finau threatened Johnson’s lead, however a birdie on the 13th from the world number one ensured he headed into the final round with a two-shot lead.

    Speaking about the tournament on Saturday, prior to his victory Johnson said: “I would say the game is in better form right now than two years ago, but I think I holed a lot more putts two years ago than I did this year so far. But there’s always tomorrow.”

    Dustin Johnson has been a proud Hublot ambassador since 2017 announced their partnership in 2017. Speaking at the time he said: “I am honoured to join the distinguished list of Hublot Ambassadors, especially since I have always been such an admirer of their timepieces. Each one is so unique, unlike many of the other luxury brands, which I appreciate and enjoy. I am very excited about the partnership and hope to hoist a few trophies with a Hublot on my wrist.”

    Speaking of the current Masters Champion, Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe praised Johnson’s winning attitude: “He also reminds us that each shot on the golf course is crucial; we need to constantly excel ourselves and start over.”
