Johnson wins Masters, credits The Master

AUGUSTA, Ga. (BP)--Zach Johnson's two-shot victory at the 2007 Masters Tournament on Easter Sunday surprised those inside and out of the golf world -- but as no surprise to those who know him, Johnson boldly used the occasion to proclaim his love and faith in Jesus Christ.

"Being Easter, my goal was the glorify God and hopefully I did that today," said the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native, who attended the same high school as fellow Christian and former NFL MVP quarterback Kurt Warner.

Johnson credited his faith in God and the counsel of longtime PGA Tour chaplain Larry Moody of Search Ministry, whose Bible study Johnson attends on a weekly basis, for allowing him to remain calm in the competitive and often chaotic final round.
