The week started pretty slowly for me, but man did it turn into a strong week the last two days.Not only did I end up with six different autographs this week -- which of course helps the case of making an average of one autograph a day for the entire year -- but I winded down the week Saturday with another major championship winner.
A super-quick turnaround from 2007 Masters Tournament winner Zach Johnson. Johnson, a standout on the Nationwide Tour before joining the PGA Tour in 2004. Johnson was gracious enough to sign a pin flag I picked up at the 2007 event as well as an original photo I took of the Masters Tournament trophy! These will definitely find a prominent display spot in my golf room!
To date he has won six times on the PGA Tour, none bigger than the '07 Masters. Augusta National was playing quite tough that year, with Johnson's 1-over 289 score tying Hall of Famers Sam Snead (1954) and Jack Burke, Jr. (1956) for the highest winning score in tournament history.
If you've followed golf for any time, you'll also know that in addition to being a great champion, Johnson is one of the brightest and most fan-friendly players on Tour.
Without a doubt living proof that good guys don't always finish last.
