Zach is the big winner!
No, not my Zach. Although it's pretty cool that my son has the same name as the 2007 Masters champion. Zach Johnson is the man of the day with a sweet final round of 69, beating Tiger and two other players by two shots. The news stories I have read all say that Zach Johnson was an "unexpected" winner or that he wasn't an accomplished player. I tend to disagree. Sure, he wasn't a Reteif Goosen, Vijay Singh, or Phil Mickelson, but he has been a very consistent player on the tour for the past two years. Unfortunately, many of the "expert" golf writers out there don't know anything about the game...if Tiger doesn't win it is considered an upset. Zach Johnson has been on the tour for four years, he won the BellSouth in 2004, was in the top 40 on the money list the last two years, and was a member of the US Ryder Cup team last year...not too bad in my book. It's good to see a regular guy win a major for a change...
