Zach Johnson - The Real Deal?

by Dale Chavez on April 11th, 2007

Zach Johnson was a surprise winner last week at the Masters and I got to wondering if he’s the real deal. There’s no question he’s a top-20 golfer, and he’s proven that the last few years, and he even made the Ryder Cup team last year. But will he go the route that Larry Mize, Fuzzy Zoeller, or Jack Fleck did and stay a pretty good, but not great golfer?

Professional golf is full of one-shot major winners and while I don’t think Johnson belongs in the elite-5 of the world, I do think he’s a perennial top-20 golfer for years to come. He kind of reminds me of David Toms; not especially long off the tee, very good with the irons, but is probably a better putter. I also think he’s got a couple more majors in him (though probably not the U.S. Open because of its length).
