Zach Johnson Quotes
-
I don't hit it as far as a lot of guys do, so I have to be in the right spot in the fairway to score, and that means driving it well.

Sports formed me. I was always decently skilled but lacked size, so I had to resort to using my skill versus my power. I strategically play golf because that's all I can do. It's the same on the basketball court. I try to get open and shoot it. Or I use the open space on the soccer field.
