here's to you, Regis' Zach Johnson

I am not a golfer, but I found myself glued to the TV yesterday during Easter dinner, as Zach Johnson, my former classmate at Regis High School (a year older than me) beat out Tiger Woods and won the freakin Masters yesterday! (I also learned that high scores in golf are a bad thing.) Go Zach! His acceptance speech for the green jacket was pretty surreal. He was very humble and made me proud of my midwestern upbringing giving rightful shout outs to his family, our Lord and to Iowa. I like how he represented CR with the Aegon hat and McGladrey shirt, too. In high school, he was not a standout golfer or anything (or at least on the level of a Tiger Woods or Adam Spanich (if you went to my high school, that is), so this is especially impressive. I think we were on the newspaper staff together, but I always thought he was a bit of a know it all.

You can read about how great he is in the article from the CR Gazette here (Cedar Rapids paper is crap, btw)
