No More Phil or Tiger


I will cheer and pull for Zach Johnson from now on. He took on Tiger and beat him. Tiger's dirty mouth and anger issues have always been an issue of my cheer. He is like Bobby Knight. They are both talent filled but they do not honor God who is the giver of talent. I pray that Tony Dungy, and Zach Johnson's example will be the examples that our children will follow and Christians will cheer on. Here is an article of what Zach Johnson had to say for the glory of God.
Winning on Easter makes Masters more special for Johnson
April 8, 2007 AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Zach Johnson will take a win at the Masters any day.
That he did it on Easter made it even more special
"I don't know if I was necessarily calm. I had some people looking after me today," Johnson said after he finished the 18th hole Sunday. "Being Easter, my faith is very important to me.
"I felt Jesus, I felt my grandfather, my family, everybody," he said, his voice shaking. "So it was awesome."
Johnson became one of the most unlikely Masters champions ever, holding off Tiger Woods to win the year's first major by two strokes. It was only his second victory on the PGA Tour.
Johnson is known as one of the more religious players on tour, and he makes no secret of his faith. When he climbed up on a riser behind the 18th green for an interview, he joked that he should "start preaching."
But he turned serious later, discussing a thought that was foremost in his mind the entire day.
"Regardless of what happened today, my responsibility was to glorify God," Johnson said. "Hopefully I did."
In my humble opinion Zach did just that. Praise the Lord.
