Zach Johnson is a two-time Major champion, a 12-time PGA Tour winner, and a likely future Hall-of-Famer. He also might just be the GOAT when it comes to one of the most amateurish bloopers a golfer can make.
When McIlroy assumes the role of player director next year, it will mark the first time that an international player has served on the tour’s policy board since its inception in 1969.
The first green has so much hustle and flow, the USGA specifically tells players that its handling it differently than the other 17th, maintaining it a slower speed so that the ridiculousness doesn’t become too sublime.
Far be it from us to judge another man’s athleticism – glass houses and what not – but Johnson looks like an 80-year-old at a pre-sunrise Zumba class at the local gym.
None of this has been a good look for golf, a sport that prides itself on good looks. So now what? Is it time for professional golf to finally have its own set of rules?
