AUGUSTA, Ga. - Zach Johnson has won the Masters. Four-time champion Tiger Woods finished tied for second with Rory Sabbatini and Retief Goosen (reh-TEEF' GOOH'-sihn), two shots behind Johnson. Johnson fired a 3-under-69 to finish at 1-over for the tournament.
Unheralded golf pro Zach Johnson capped a weird week at the Masters Sunday -- winning the green jacket while holding off Tiger Woods.
Johnson pulled away from Woods and the rest of the pack with three birdies in a crucial four-hole stretch along the back nine of Augusta National.
He closed with a 69 for a two-shot victory -- only the second win of his career.
Johnson, 31, is the least accomplished Masters champion since Larry Mize chipped in to beat Greg Norman in a playoff 20 years ago. But this was no fluke. Even as some of the thrills returned in the final round, Johnson kept his calm.
