Zach Johnson Biography

Zachary Harris Johnson (nickname Zach) was born on the 24th February 1976 in Iowa City, Iowa and raised in Cedar Rapids. Zach took up golf at age 10 and developed his skills at Elmcrest Country Club. He played #2 on the Regis High School golf team and led them to an Iowa 3A state championship in 1992, his sophomore year. Following graduation from high school in 1994, Zach enrolled at Drake University in Des Moines. As the #2 player on the Drake golf team, he led the Bulldogs to three NCAA regional meets and two Missouri Valley championships. Zach is married to his wife, Kim. They have a son, Will.

Zach turned professional in 1998 and played on the developmental tour circuit where he won the final three regular-season events in 2001. In 2003, he topped the money list on the Nationwide Tour with then record earnings of $494,882, earning an automatic promotion to the PGA Tour. He won his first PGA Tour event at the 2004 BellSouth Classic outside of Atlanta. He also qualified for the 2006 U.S. Ryder Cup team, finishing 9th on the U.S. points list.

On April 8, 2007, Zach won the Masters Tournament in Augusta by a margin of 2 strokes over Tiger Woods, Retief Goosen, and Rory Sabbatini. It was his first major title. His victory took him from 56th to 15th in the world rankings. Worthy of note was that he was the first player outside the top 50 in the world rankings to win the Masters in the history of the ranking. Six weeks after winning the Masters, Zach won the 2007 AT&T Classic in a playoff over Ryuji Imada. Following the win, Johnson moved to a career-best 13th in the world rankings. His next PGA Tour victory was in 2008 at the Valero Texas Open.

Zach won the Sony Open in Hawaii in January 2009, and successfully defended his title at the Valero Texas Open in May with a playoff victory over James Driscoll. Another point worthy of note is that Zach became the first player to shoot 60 twice on the PGA Tour, having done so previously at the 2007 Tour Championship. The win was Johnson's sixth on tour. Other highlights in 2009 include a tie for 2nd place at the John Deere Classic and 3rd place finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He finished the season ranked a career best fourth on the money list.

His 2010 season on the PGA Tour got off to a slow start, but his luck turned with a victory at the 2010 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, his 7th PGA Tour win.
