Zach Johnson was an upper-echelon golfer before this week, having already qualified for his first Ryder Cup last fall.
Still, he is not Tiger Woods. Heck, he’s not even Stuart Appleby.

This was shocking stuff, and given the nature of some of the questions in his post-tournament press conference, it was apparent some members of the media had never uttered the words “Zach Johnson” before about 6 p.m. tonight.
Among some of the nuggets we learned about your new Masters champion:
He first showed up at Augusta six years earlier as a spectator.
“We came out on Monday and I walked the golf course,â€? Johnson recalled. “I didn’t really watch much play. I remember a few shots here and there, but for the most part I just walked it. My mouth was agape. I was in Augusta. You don’t see that on mini-tours.â€?
He played on a number of mini-tours right out of college, including the Prairie Tour and the Hooters Tour.
“I thought those were the best days of my life right there,” he said. “Chicken wings and everything. But that’s how I got better. Those mini-tours, a lot of good players have come through the ranks there. I feel very fortunate to have played in those tours, too.”
He is the father of a 14-week-old son. I’m a sucker for that kind of stuff, especially seeing how badly I’m missing my own little boy at the end of an eight-day trip. And when I saw Johnson kissing his baby boy after his win, I’ll admit I got choked up. So I’m a sap. Go ahead, say it. I can take it.
