Golf Blog: Zach Johnson's Year?
Zach Johnson is not the most exciting character, at least not publicly.
He doesn't launch the ball 330 yards, he doesn't have a famous girlfriend, a pretty swing or a Technicolor wardrobe.
Let's be clear he is not an unknown.
The 2007 Masters Champion also has 11 Tour victories under his belt, so the obvious question is what's got people talking about the 37 year old now?
It's a formidable run of form and one that has been characterised by his steely determination to win.
But, I think it's not that he's underrated, he's just understated. His surgeon like precision with a wedge and the methodical way in which he picks apart a golf course is not the most romantic way to play, but it certainly has fields worried.
And I think if you asked his colleagues on Tour they would testify to his quality.
But, whether underrated or understated, he is firmly in the golf world's consciousness now and everyone is excited about his 2014.
