Zachary Harris Johnson (born February 24, 1976) is an Americanprofessional golfer who has 12 victories on thePGA Tour, including twomajor championships, the2007 Masters and the2015 Open Championship. At the2023 Ryder Cup, Johnson captained the U.S. squad against Europe inRome, Italy.[3]

Early life

[edit]

The son of achiropractor, Johnson was born inIowa City, Iowa and raised inCedar Rapids,[4] the eldest of Dave and Julie Johnson's three children. Playing many sports as a youth (baseball, basketball,football, and soccer), Johnson took up golf at age 10 and developed his skills at Elmcrest Country Club. He played number-two on theRegis High School golf team and led them to an Iowa 3A state championship in 1992, his sophomore year.[5]

Following graduation from high school in 1994, Johnson enrolled atDrake University inDes Moines. As the number-two player on the Drake golf team, he led the Bulldogs to three NCAA regional meets and twoMissouri Valley championships. Johnson's uncle, Tom Harris, qualified for the 1975NAIA national tournament.

Professional career

[edit]

Johnson turned professional in 1998 and played on the developmental tour circuit, including the now-defunct Prairie Golf Tour, Buy.com Tour (nowKorn Ferry Tour), andHooters Tour, where he won the final three regular-season events in 2001. In 2003, he topped the money list on theNationwide Tour with then record earnings of $494,882, earning an automatic promotion to thePGA Tour. Johnson won his firstPGA Tour event in2004 at theBellSouth Classic outside ofAtlanta, one stroke ahead of runner-upMark Hensby. In2006, Johnson recorded a number of impressive results, with two runner-ups and a third at theWGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. As a result, he qualified for the U.S.Ryder Cup team for the first time in2006, finishing ninth on the U.S. points list.

In April2007, Johnson won his first major title at theMasters Tournament inAugusta, Georgia, two strokes ahead of runners-upTiger Woods,Retief Goosen, andRory Sabbatini.[6] His score of 289 (+1) tiedSam Snead (1954) andJack Burke Jr. (1956) for the highest winning score at the Masters. His victory took Johnson from #56 to #15 in theworld rankings; he was the first outside the top 50 in theworld rankings to win theMasters in the history of the rankings (introduced1986). After winning, he mentioned his Christian faith and thanked God, saying: "This beingEaster, I cannot help but believe my Lord and Savior,Jesus Christ was walking with me. I owe this to Him."[7] Six weeks after winning the Masters, Johnson won for the third time on tour at theAT&T Classic in a playoff overRyuji Imada. Following the win, Johnson moved to 13th in the world rankings. His next PGA Tour victory, and first outside the state ofGeorgia, came at theValero Texas Open in October2008, where he finished with weekend rounds of 62 and 64 to finish two strokes ahead of a chasing pack of players.

Johnson won theSony Open in Hawaii in January2009 for his fifth victory on the PGA Tour, and successfully defended his title at the Valero Texas Open in May with a playoff victory overJames Driscoll.[8] With a third-round 60, Johnson became the first player to shoot 60 twice on the PGA Tour, having done so previously at the 2007Tour Championship. The win was Johnson's sixth on tour. Other highlights in 2009 include a tie for 2nd place at theJohn Deere Classic and a solo 3rd-place finish at theArnold Palmer Invitational. He finished the season ranked a career best fourth on the money list. In 2010, Johnson started the season solidly on the PGA Tour, making ten of his first eleven cuts without any significant results. Then in June 2010, he won theCrowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, his seventh PGA Tour victory. Johnson only missed two cuts all year en route to qualifying for the season ending Tour Championship and the 2010 U.S. Ryder Cup team, his second appearance in the event.[9]

In 2012, Johnson won theCrowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial for the second time in his career. He made a five-foot (1.5 m) putt on the last hole for an apparent three-shot victory, but a ruling on the final hole resulted in a two-stroke penalty. It did not affect the outcome, with the only difference being Johnson signing for a double-bogey instead of a par on the final hole, and winning by a single stroke overJason Dufner.[10] He jumped to 3rd in the FedEx Cup standings and returned to the world top 20 with this victory. Johnson moved to second in the FedEx Cup standings in2012 with a playoff win on July 15 at theJohn Deere Classic.[11] Johnson defeatedTroy Matteson, who started the day up four shots on Johnson and had led the tournament since the first round,[12] with a birdie on the second hole of their playoff. Johnson also started the day behind three-time defending championSteve Stricker, who was three shots behind Matteson. It was Johnson's second win on the year after winning at Colonial Country Club.[13] Mike Bender, Johnson's swing coach, also caddied for the week while usual caddie Damon Green played in theU.S. Senior Open.[14]

At the2012 Open Championship, played atRoyal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England, Johnson finished at even par for the tournament (280), tied for ninth, seven shots behind winnerErnie Els.[15]

In 2013, Johnson, in defense of hisJohn Deere Classic title, lost in a three-man sudden-death playoff toJordan Spieth at the fifth extra hole, after he bogeyed the final hole of regulation play with a one shot lead. In the playoff, all three players, Johnson, Spieth andDavid Hearn, had chances to win with Johnson's coming at the second extra hole, but he failed to convert the putt. Spieth won with par at the fifth extra hole after Johnson hit his second shot into the water and could only make bogey. The following week, Johnson opened up the2013 Open Championship atMuirfield, with a five-under-par round of 66 to hold the lead by one stroke overRafa Cabrera-Bello andMark O'Meara. He finished the tournament in a tie for 6th place. He continued solid play for the rest of the summer, finishing in the top-10 in six of the next seven tournaments he would enter, including an 8th-place finish at thePGA Championship, making it back to back top-10 finishes at major events. In September, Johnson captured theBMW Championship for his tenth career victory and firstFedEx Cup victory of his career.

In December 2013, Johnson attained a playoff victory over Tiger Woods at theNorthwestern Mutual World Challenge.[16] This win moved him into the top ten of theOfficial World Golf Ranking for the first time in his career. Johnson captured his 11th career victory in January 2014 with a win at theHyundai Tournament of Champions.[17] With the win, Johnson moved up to 7th in theOfficial World Golf Ranking, and claimed a career high 6th due to 8th place in the following week.

At the2014 U.S. Open, Johnson had ahole in one on the 172 yard par-3 9th hole. It was the 44th hole in one in U.S. Open history, and just the second atPinehurst No. 2.[18]

On July 20, 2015, Johnson beatLouis Oosthuizen andMarc Leishman in afour-hole playoff to win theOpen Championship atSt Andrews for his 12th PGA Tour win and second major.[19] He became only the sixth golfer to win majors atAugusta and St. Andrews, the others beingSam Snead,Jack Nicklaus,Nick Faldo,Seve Ballesteros, and Woods.[20]

Johnson is one of only two players (withPhil Mickelson) to have twice shot a round of 60 on the PGA Tour,[21] though Jim Furyk shot rounds of 58 and 59.

In July 2019, Johnson fell out of the Official World Golf Ranking top 100 players for the first time since April 2004, when his first tour victory at the 2004BellSouth Classic vaulted him from 126th in the world to 49th. From 2004 to 2018, Johnson made at least $1.6 million every season, and he grabbed wins in all but one season between 2007 and 2015. The only year he didn't, 2011, Johnson still managed to finish T-6 or better in four events, and he also finished solo second at theHero World Challenge.[22]

In August 2019, Johnson failed to make theFedEx Cup Playoffs for the first time since the playoffs were introduced in 2007. "Extreme disappointment. That's about all I've got at this point is just extreme disappointment," Johnson said. "I mean, I didn't play as much as I typically do in the past, probably 3-5 tournaments less, but that's just because of the season of life that I'm in. So there's more opportunity when you play more, but that has nothing to do with my play." Once a fixture near the top of the rankings, Johnson slipped to 126th in the world. He remains fully exempt for the 2019–20 PGA Tour season in the final part of a five-year exemption for winning the2015 Open Championship, an insurance that the 43-year-old admitted allowed him to play with added "freedom" during a lean year.[23]

In July 2021, Johnson was forced to withdraw from2021 Open Championship after testing positive for COVID-19, ending his streak at participating in 69 consecutive majors.[24]

Personal life

[edit]

Johnson and his wife, the former Kim Barclay, were members of First Baptist Church in Orlando.[25]

Johnson was raised aCatholic, but joined his wife's church prior to their marriage in 2003. They have two sons, Will and Wyatt, and one daughter, Abby Jane. They lived inLake Mary, Florida and now reside inSt. Simons, Georgia.[26]

The Zach Johnson Foundation is dedicated to helping children and their families inCedar Rapids, Iowa. One program created by Johnson and his wife Kim helped to raise $700,000 for community agencies serving children in need. He has stated: "This Foundation will fulfill a dream of mine and Kim's to give back to Cedar Rapids in a long-lasting, meaningful way."[27]
