Zach's 73rd hole 2012 John Deere classic

[DJofSD]

Watch (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/golf-devil-ball-golf/bite-ball-zach-johnson-takes-five-drops-playoff-130404455--golf.html) and count how many times he actually drops his ball after his 2nd from the fairway bunker got wet.

BTW, Matteson and Johnson both blew their second shot and both ended up with double bogies.

But the biggest surprise was for Zach. He thought he had a 2 shot victory more or less in the bag but then Troy got an eagle two. Tied at the top of the leader board forced the extra holes.

Nice treat for Troy -- he gets into the Open!

DJ--I always root for guys like Zach. Not one of the longest off the tee but very good with the irons and all around game. When he has the short stick working it's cash city for him. Win number two for the year and his ninth for his career. Nine wins not many players ever get to that number. Plus he has a green jacket. He just proves you do not have to be a big bomber out of the tee box. Hope he does well at the British Open. He knows how to manage a course.
