Zack Johnson wins at Colonial
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Zach Johnson now has a plaid jacket to go along with his green one, after an extended wait before slipping on his prize at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.won at Hogan’s Alley with a tournament record 21-under 259, sealing his victory with a pair of birdies in the short span of play in between two late weather delays Sunday.
When Johnson drained a 14-foot birdie putt at the 17th hole to take a two-stroke lead over Brian Davis, he had a wide smile on his face and emphatically pumped his fist. But the real celebration had to wait.
“As far as momentum and a big putt, that was a big one,” said Johnson, the 2007 Masters champion. “I didn’t have a number in my head, but I figure if you get to 21, you have got a pretty good chance.”
Johnson’s closing 6-under 64 left him three strokes ahead of Davis, who had a closing 68.
“Zach won the tournament, I didn’t lose it,” Davis said. “It was a weird feeling walking up 18 knowing you can’t win.”
