I just see myself as an athlete and a competitor, someone who just works really hard at trying to get better at golf.

Elmcrest CC, in Cedar Rapids, is where it all started when I was growing up. The tree-lined course has a very demanding layout that requires you to be accurate off the tee and avoid a number of well-placed water hazards on some of the holes.

From Zach Johnson

There are a bunch of places to stay in Des Moines, but I'd suggest finding a place on the west side of town. It's a great urban area that has a lot to offer tourists.

From Zach Johnson

When you're trying to accomplish lofty goals, and when you're attacking something of great magnitude, you have to have help.

From Zach Johnson

I'm a Christian guy, and when it comes to my priorities, it's the utmost. For me, just to calm myself down, to keep my perspective when I'm playing, to not make too big a deal of it... that's where I go to. The peace that comes with that allows me to play free golf.

From Zach Johnson

I've come a long way since 2007 when I kind of launched my golf career.

From Zach Johnson

I play golf for a living. I'm grateful for that. It's a beautiful game, provides a great opportunity.

From Zach Johnson

I feel like God gave me the ability to play a game. I try to take it very seriously. I realize it's just a game.

From Zach Johnson

I don't know if I have a brand. I just see myself as an athlete and a competitor, someone who just works really hard at trying to get better at golf. I guess I'm kind of the feel-good story who's seen every level of professional golf.

From Zach Johnson

Sports formed me. I was always decently skilled but lacked size, so I had to resort to using my skill versus my power. I strategically play golf because that's all I can do. It's the same on the basketball court. I try to get open and shoot it. Or I use the open space on the soccer field.
