There is a new leader atop the FedEx Cup standings.

Hideki Matsuyama fired off a nine-under 61 on Sunday to finish at 16 under overall and win the 2017 Bridgestone Invitational by five strokes. Zach Johnson, who held the 54-hole lead, finished in second at 11 under.

Charley Hoffman (-10) came in third place, and Thomas Pieters (-8) finished fourth. Paul Casey and Rory McIlroy (-7) tied for fifth.
