Zach Johnson Wins Masters, Looks like Joaquin Phoenix
It's over (finally), and what could have been a phenominal finish, ended up being just so so. However, we did get what we love here at the Lounge - A first time major winner.
While we don't cheer against the Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelsons of the world, we do like pulling for the underdog and first time major winners fall nicely into that category.
Zach Johnson has been one of those "full of potential" golfers for the last few years, but I didn't think he had major championships in him. After watching him three-putt a 3-foot birdie attempt that would have given him a 2 stroke lead going into Saturday, I thought Zach was cooked.
Today, he showed he had the shots and more importantly, the mental makeup to win the big one.
One of the beautiful things about golf is how life changing a major win is for a golfer. Zach just went from professional golfer to Masters Champion. Surely a title that will follow him for the rest of his days on the earth (even if he never makes another cut in his career). Cool stuff.
Oh and by the way, is it just me or does Zach Johnson look a lot like Joaquin Phoenix?
