Iowa, where's that?

Unfortunately, I bet that's a phrase a bunch of golf fans were uttering today.

In case you don't follow golf whatsoever (I admit, for the most part I don't either), Zach Johnson surprised a bunch of people by winning the Masters today - the golf equivalent of the Super Bowl.

Zach is a native Iowan, who grew up in the Cedar Rapids area. It turns out he is related to some good friends of our family as well. I have met and talked with him at several Hawkeye tailgates, so I have always rooted for him to do well. It's very cool to have him win such a huge tournament. Now, I hope he enjoys the media whirlwind as people try to figure out how someone from this state in the middle of nowhere can manage to play golf, and beat the invincible Tiger Woods.

Congratulations Zach.

Yes, congratulations to Zach. We were all rooting for him. It was funny that they barely put him on camera throught the whole tournament until they figured out "ohh crap, he might win this. Better point the camera his way."
