With his characteristic guts and grit, I think he'll beat the odds. I didn't know if we would ever see Zach Johnson back on top of a leader board. It doesn't hurt that it was a weak field, but I think it will do wonders for his confidence and he'll probably be back on top before too long. Maybe even at Augusta again.

So technically there should have been only 51 events. Nonetheless the tour is expanding rapidly and no wonder that some of the big names on the PGA Tour are seriously considering migrating to the European Tour. Of course the other big news is Zach winning again. Albeit late in the season, Zach needed this win to prove that he should still be counted in the big league and maybe he could spring another major surprise. Well it should not be considered a surprise anymore should it. I think this win will do him a lot of good and he will be in contention more often next year. Felt sorry for Charlie Wi, who despite carding an unbelievable 9 under par 61 could only manage a second place finish which was his best ever finish on the PGA Tour.
