That Bird Dance is what is making me like Zach!

Go Zach...Second is all yours after Spieth's Birdie on 18!
[/quote]

Uh, a birdie on 18 is not going to win it. You jinxed him by saying that too early. Hope you're happy with yourself.

I wrote this before his 2nd shot on 17 brother!

[eagle1997]

is it wrong that i want zach to win so it drives everyone on this thread crazy? including me?

yes.

[GHIN n Juice]

The only thing one can extrapolate from the man's home state is that he's probably a $hitty driver on the roads, lol. A good friend of mine used to sponsor ZJ during his mini tour days and he would routinely get hand written letters thanking him for the support and updating his career. Now, I imagine most guys do something similar but the volume of handwritten letters was pretty cool.

As said before, people who know him don't have a negative thing to say. That's gotta mean something.

[quote name='curitiba' timestamp='1437138922' post='11965560']All that for a shot in the rough. Its official...ABJ.......Anyone But Johnson for the win.

Also, Im assuming they have a grounds crew for every hole cuz Johnson hit his shot and the caddy didn't rake the bunker.[/quote]

Agreed, anyone but Johnson!

[Arafel]

Suck it haters.

<sounds of swearing echo across the wrx-verse>

Que the bellyaching

[dan360]

Nothing against ZJ as a person....but not a fan.

He's a great guy. More people should be like him. Does not make me feel warm n tingly inside tho.

[eagle1997]

he left his caddie hanging for a long time after louis missed.

he's the DEVIL.

[Sheggy173]

I find it funny that so many people are willing to talk sh** about someone they've never met.

[farmer]

Great win by Zach! That's right, ZACH, the 5'11" shorty who can't hit it very far.

Haha oh definitely, but it just seems like this site is a little over the top even by normal internet standards. Either way armchair commandos always amuse me.

He's kind of boring, he's a Christian, and he's a little funny looking.

Apparently:

He talks about his faith

He's balding

He's not flashy

He wears mittens to keep his hands warm

He wears sporty type oakley sunglasses over his beenie

His caddie does the birdie dance at the home of golf on the 18th green

probably heaps more too!

Gotcha.

Had a feeling it was silly stuff like this.

[vtnerf]

At least he didn't shoot 57 with 3 hole in ones... things would have really gotten out of hand bashing him then.

[irsihmen453]

The guy is a class act. He plays the way it should be played. I have zero issue with what his caddie did, he got excited and showed emotion. Good win, give us short guys some hope!

[GHIN n Juice]

Even the haters have to admit that at least he walks the walk with his bible thumping. You don't hear him blasting his caddy, swearing and throwing clubs, sleeping around, etc.

Now, I am not a Jesus freak and generally dislike those that are because they tend to forget that crap 6 days out of the week. But I'll give it to someone who appears to do his best living the life he preaches.

[ebn2002]

I like ZJ. Gives me no reason not to like him. And we play the same 4 iron.

How about AP2's winning the first 3 majors this year.

[curitiba]

CONGRATS ZACH JOHNSON.

Great post interview. He did leave his Caddy hangin, but maybe that was for the bird dance he pulled off.

All the best WRXers.

[f5joe]

Congrats to ZJ ...... well deserved.

[dan360]

I don't hate him at all. Not even close. He is by all accounts a stellar person.

He just doesn't light my fire. Kinda bland. That's all.

*edit*. Well, that and I sorta dislike all things Iowa. Except Blue Bunny. And Knoxville.

What are you talking about, he thanked his caddie before he thanked his wife.

That means you dislike the Field of Dreams and covered bridges. Is your heart made of stone?

[Mschumacher]

I don't hate the guy, but something rubs me the wrong way. I think its the sun glasses. Same thing with David Duval (except I loved Duval's game though).

Hilarious! Time to retreat back to the 19th hole thread and giggle about it with the group. Really zinged em' this time.

[theironhorse]

The hate for Zach cracks me up. I think the biggest problem people have with him is that he is boring as dirt for the most part. Phenomenal guy, period. Is his faith talk frowned upon by most, definitely. But it's not like he is preaching to anyone. Guy is the freaking epitome of the underdog story.
Ever compared his career to Stricker, Kuchar, Mahan, etc etc - those people generally viewed as superior players for some reason. I'm not a Zach Johnson crazy, but growing up (and still living) right here in the Cedar Rapids area, we'd be a better place with MORE Zach Jonhsons out there, lol.
