'Lucky' Johnson secures play-off win

Zach Johnson admitted he had got lucky after he shot a third-round 60 but still needed a play-off to successfully defend his title at the Valero Texas Open yesterday.

A day after the 2007 Masters champion had equalled the course round at the par-70, 6,896-yard Resort Course with an eight-birdie, one-eagle round of 60, fellow American James Driscoll shook things up with an eight-under-par round of 62 to take the clubhouse lead at 15 under par.
