Author: Thomas AquinasI thought that I was going to get a place somewhere. But with (Housing) tearing down the Towers, I’m wondering where they’ll put everybody.
Author: Zach JohnsonHe is doing absolutely everything right. I can’t think of a missed shot he hit, really. … It was a display of just — whether you have a lead or don’t have a lead — of perfect golf.
Author: Zach JohnsonSix guys, three bedrooms. If you want to see how good you can become, you have to go somewhere you can play year-round. We hit balls in a dome in college. That’s not the best way to develop your game.
Author: Zach JohnsonI feel good about where my game is at, … It’s a kind of a stretch where you want to get things rolling. I hope it carries into this weekend and for the rest of the year for that matter.
Author: Zach JohnsonWhen I’m off the golf course, and my wife and I have free time, which is not very often, we really enjoy movies. I’m a movie nut; she might even be more so. Holiday in our house is the Oscars.
Author: Zach JohnsonTry to devote the percentage of time for each club that you’re going to be using on the golf course. I like to have two or three different clubs that I practice with, not four or five.
Author: Zach JohnsonTo win at Augusta and to win The Open Championship at St. Andrews, it’s hard to put it into words as a golfer, as an athlete, as a guy – I’m not rich in history, I can tell you that. I’m not a great historian.
Author: Zach JohnsonThese guys that take a shower, grab a cup of coffee, and go straight to the tee? That’s not the way to do it. When you warm up, hit 20 to 25 wedges, a few middle irons, and 10 to 15 3-woods and drivers. If you’re going to putt, give yourself 10 minutes.
Author: Zach JohnsonSports formed me. I was always decently skilled but lacked size, so I had to resort to using my skill versus my power. I strategically play golf because that’s all I can do. It’s the same on the basketball court. I try to get open and shoot it. Or I use the open space on the soccer field.
Author: Zach JohnsonThe Zach Johnson Foundation, for my wife and I, is very much a part of what we do and why we do what we do. It’s a great platform for us to give back to the community that started me in the game and other communities.
Author: Zach JohnsonMy boring, mundane, diligent kind of golf works sometimes. Actually, it works all the time. And sometimes, on the greatest stages, it really does flourish.

Author: Zach JohnsonI had good skills, but my lack of size and speed kept me a little behind the best kids in the other sports. Golf offered a more level field. I would have rather played other sports, but golf picked me.
Author: Zach JohnsonIf you put me in the fairway at my average distance into a par 4, 175 to 180 yards, and you put another player in the rough 120 yards from the green, over time, I’m going to wear him out.
Author: Zach JohnsonI’m a Christian guy, and when it comes to my priorities, it’s the utmost. For me, just to calm myself down, to keep my perspective when I’m playing, to not make too big a deal of it… that’s where I go to. The peace that comes with that allows me to play free golf.
Author: Zach JohnsonGolf is not my priority. I would hope people see me as a Christian man who loved his family, who loved being in the heat of competition and sometimes succeeded at it; who understood that golf was his job and that he was very lucky to play it for a living.

Author: Zach JohnsonI don’t know if I have a brand. I just see myself as an athlete and a competitor, someone who just works really hard at trying to get better at golf. I guess I’m kind of the feel-good story who’s seen every level of professional golf.
Author: Zach JohnsonWinning the 2007 Master’s was a dream fulfilled; culminating on Easter Sunday with my family was very special. You couldn’t write it up any better.
Author: Zach JohnsonElmcrest CC, in Cedar Rapids, is where it all started when I was growing up. The tree-lined course has a very demanding layout that requires you to be accurate off the tee and avoid a number of well-placed water hazards on some of the holes.
Author: Zach JohnsonEarly in the winter of 2002, I gave my life to the Lord. Before I was one, I always thought being a Christian would be boring. In reality, it has been the complete opposite.

Author: Zach JohnsonI feel like God gave me the ability to play a game. I try to take it very seriously. I realize it’s just a game.
Author: Zach JohnsonI don’t hit it very far; I don’t overpower a golf course, but I think I’m a pretty decent putter. At Augusta National, putting is premium.
Author: Zach JohnsonThere are a bunch of places to stay in Des Moines, but I’d suggest finding a place on the west side of town. It’s a great urban area that has a lot to offer tourists.
Author: Zach JohnsonYou need to make a trip to Des Moines in August, because the Iowa State Fair really is a sight to see. The Iowa Fairgrounds are usually packed for those 11 days, and you get a real sense of what a classic Midwest fair is all about.

Author: Zach JohnsonWhenever I’m in Des Moines, I always make a trip to Manhattan Deli for a sandwich. I spent a lot of time there when I was going to college at Drake, so it’s usually my one ‘go-to’ food stop when I’m in town.
