Zach Johnson. Do you know the name. You probably don't. He is a young guy and is a self-proclaimed , "normal person." Just a normal guy, who just got his name in the history books.
Yesterday Johnson was in the one of final groupings knowing that Tiger Woods was in the hunt for the Green Jacket. But even with the pressure Johnson won the jacket and the Masters.
This was the 1st time in Masters history that the winner was over-par. "I'm Zach Johnson and I'm from Cedar Rapids, Iowa," said the guy wearing the green jacket after winning the Masters on Sunday night. "I'm very normal. I'm as normal as they come."

Johnson became the first player ever to win a major tournament led by Woods in the final round by overcoming a late charge from the world's No. 1 player.
"They say a giant has to fall at some point and maybe that's the case," said Johnson. "You know, it's still very surreal in that respect.
"This golf course was playing very difficult," said Woods, who finished second in a major for just the third time in his career. "You just had to keep plodding along and give yourself as many chance as you possibly could at birdies. They were very hard to come by."

Young Gun....I think you need to check your Masters history. I believe both Sam Snead in 1954 and Jack Burke in 1956 each won the Masters with a final score of +1. Indeed, Snead was tied with Ben Hogan at +1 and needed to defeat Hogan the next day in an 18 hole playoff.
