Cedar Rapids Native Zach Johnson Wins The British Open

Zach Johnson won the British Open after a four-hole playoff with Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman. Oosthuizen missed a birdie put to force a sudden death playoff with Johnson. The win is Johnson’s second career major victory.

Johnson started three strokes off the pace and so set off a bit earlier than many of the contenders. He fired a 66, tied for the low round of the day, and nailed a huge 20-foot birdie on 18.

Johnson takes home a cool $1.8 million for his win.
