AKRON, Ohio -- Dustin Johnson is making golf sound as easy as he makes it look.There was nothing fancy about the way he went about his work Sunday in the Bridgestone Invitational, where he rallied from a three-shot deficit against the worlds No. 1 player to win in his first start since capturing his first major at the U.S. Open.He drives it great. His wedge game has been his biggest improvement. He finally is making some putts.Is it really that simple?I mean, yeah, Johnson replied.Late last year, he decided to abandon his natural draw off the tee and switch to a fade because he thought he would hit more fairways.I got tired of hitting hooks, he said.When asked if it was his choice or a recommendation from his coaches, Johnson said he wanted to make the change and his coaches didnt really care which shape he hit the driver as long as I hit it straight.So was the change in his swing or the way he sets up to the ball?Youll have to ask my coach, he said.Its been a winning combination, especially in his last two tournaments. Two weeks ago at Oakmont, he overcame a four-shot deficit to win the U.S. Open, even though he wasnt sure of his score over the final two hours because the USGA couldnt make up its mind whether to assess a penalty for a ball moving.On Sunday, it took him 16 holes to wipe out a three-shot deficit against Jason Day, and then Johnson took over from there.He blasted a 9-iron out of the deep rough to 15 feet and made birdie to take the lead for the first time all week, right about the time Day was making an utter mess of the par-5 16th hole.Day tried to play it safe off the tee on the 655-yard hole, knowing he couldnt get home in two, and instead hooked his tee shot behind two thick fir trees. He blasted through branches and across the fairway, and then tried to get it just left of the green with a punch shot that wasnt hit hard enough, or far enough left. It rolled into the side of the water, leading to double bogey.Sometimes you take risks and it doesnt pay off, said Day, who didnt hit a green on his last six holes and closed with a 72.Johnson made six birdies in his round of 4-under 66 and wound up winning by one shot over Scott Piercy, who made birdie on the final hole for a 70. It was the second straight time Piercy was runner-up to Johnson, and there was some consolation that they were at the U.S. Open and a World Golf Championship.We all know how good DJ is, and hes shown it the last weeks, Piercy said. To be nipping at his heels makes me feel good. ... We want to win being out there, and knowing that I came as close as I did, not having my best stuff is a positive, as well.Day tied for third with Jordan Spieth, Matt Kuchar and Kevin Chappell.Only nine players finished under par, the fewest number at Firestone since Tiger Woods was the only player under par in 2007. Johnson finished at 6-under 274, the highest winning score since Woods in 2005.And there was one other connection to Woods -- they now are the only two players to win three of the four World Golf Championships. Johnson won the Cadillac Championship at Doral last year and the HSBC Champions in Shanghai in 2013.Johnson narrowly moved past Spieth to a career-best No. 2 in the world. He moved to the top of the FedEx Cup, and is No. 1 on the money list with over $6.5 million.And he cant wait to get to the British Open at Royal Troon in two weeks.Its the first time Ive won two tournaments in a row, Johnson said. I mean, thats big. Im excited and looking forward to going over to the British with the golf game in good form.To explain how he could go from winless over 15 months to looking as though he cant be beat is to return to Johnsons world of simplicity.Its all about putting.There is some truth to that. He has only three finishes outside the top 20 in the last year on the PGA Tour.I feel like my game is where it has been all year, he said. I feel like Ive been playing really solid all year. Ive been driving it great. Ive been wedging it good. Its just I havent been putting quite as well as Id like to. And the last couple weeks, Ive just putted a little bit better. And the game shows it.Maybe its really that simple.

MOSCOW -- Seven Russian swimmers have been barred from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, including three linked to recent allegations of a major doping cover-up by Russian authorities, world swimmings governing body FINA said Monday.Reigning world 100-meter breaststroke champion Yulia Efimova is among four Russian swimmers withdrawn by the Russian swimming federation because they previously served doping bans, FINA said. The others are Natalya Lovtsova, Anastasia Krapivina and Mikhail Dovgalyuk.The International Olympic Committee on Sunday said Russian athletes with previous doping bans would be banned from the Rio Games. That followed the IOCs decision not to ban the entire Russian team over allegations of state-sponsored doping.FINA said three more swimmers were identified by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren when he examined evidence that Russian government officials ordered the cover-up of hundreds of doping tests.They are 2008 Olympic silver and 2012 bronze medalist Nikita Lobintsev, bronze medalist Vladimir Morozov and world junior record holder Daria Ustinova.Russias top Olympic official, Alexander Zhukov, told Russian agency R-Sport that he now believed a total of 13 Russians would be ineligible due to previous doping bans. They would be withdrawn from the team, he added.The 13 are likely to include athletes in swimming, cycling, weightlifting, wrestling and rowing.On Sunday, the IOCs executive board asked individual global sports federations to decide on the entry of Russian athletes, and announced new eligibility criteria.The rules prohibit Russia from sending to the Rio Games any athletes who have previously served doping bans. Sports federations can also reject Russian entries if they have not undergone enough international drug testing. Results of Russian tests will not be accepted following allegations of routine cover-ups at Moscows anti-doping laboratory.It remains unclear whether there could be legal challenges to the IOC criteria. A similar IOC measure, known as the Osaka Rule, which would have prohibited any athletes who had received doping bans from competing in the subsequent Olympics, was declared invalid by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.Zhukov said the IOCs latest criteria violated the principle of equality because they only applied to Russia, although he has previously ruled out legal action.However, Russian Swimming Federation president Vladimir Salnikov told the state Tass agency that the four swimmers cut from its team have the chance to appeal to CAS. Efimovas agent, Andrei Mitkov, told Russias Sportbox website that she intended to file an appeal if she was not allowed to compete.Russias track and field athletes remain barred from the games by the IAAF, a decision upheld last week by CAS and accepted by the IOC.Now, with the Aug. 5 opening ceremony approaching, it is up to the remaining 27 international sports federations to vet Russian athletes on an individual basis.The International Weightlifting Federation said Monday it was seeking further clarification from the IOC and WADA before making a decision on which Russian athletes can be cleared to compete at Rio.ddddddddddddThe Budapest-based IWF said some points might lead to confusion regarding the IOC ruling giving individual sports federations the responsibility of deciding who can compete in Rio.The IWF said no Russian weightlifter sanctioned for doping will be allowed to compete -- even if they had already served their suspension -- and that it was waiting for evidence from the Russian athletes entered for Rio before making its decision.The archery federation said Monday it had approved the entry of three Russian archers after determining they have no links to doping.World Archery said it was satisfied that the three female Russian archers nominated for the games had been tested extensively and have never been sanctioned for doping. They were listed as Tuiana Dashidorzhieva, Ksenia Perova and Inna Stepanova.Archery was not implicated in the World Anti-Doping Agency report released last week by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren, which accused Russia of covering up doping in 20 summer Olympic sports.Russian archers have been targeted for additional testing, both in and out of competition, since the report was released, the federation said.No Russian archery athlete has received an adverse analytical finding, it said, adding that it would submit its findings to the IOC.The International Tennis Federation said Sunday it expects Russias eight-player Olympic tennis team to be eligible for the games. The ITF said the players have been subject to a rigorous anti-doping testing program outside Russia.The International Equestrian Federation said there was no indication of doping within Russias five-rider team.Russian cyclist Ilnur Zakarin, who won a stage during the Tour de France which ended Sunday, could be ruled out because he served a two-year ban after testing positive for a steroid in 2009.The International Judo Federation, whose honorary president is Russias President Vladimir Putin, said it has already tested 84 percent of the 389 athletes from 136 countries who are qualified to compete in Rio. It made no mention of the 11 Russian judo athletes entered.The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) said it has taken note of the IOC ruling and shall fully adhere to it. It said it would establish a pool of Russian eligible athletes. Gymnastics was not mentioned in the McLaren report.Boxings governing body, AIBA, said it was examining Russias entrants. Eleven Russian boxers have boxers for Rio, including reigning world champions Vitaly Dunaytsev and Evgeny Tishchenko.We are reviewing and analyzing, on a case by case basis, the anti-doping record of the 11 Russian boxers currently qualified for Rio 2016, AIBA said. This information and the decision of AIBA in respect of the athletes eligibility will be submitted to the IOC for confirmation in due course.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wilson in London contributed.
