Way to Go Zach

I was excited to see an Iowa boy win the Masters yesterday, but more impressed by some of the things he said after his round. Do I think that God influences sporting events so that Christians win? No. But it's great to see a guy like Zach Johnson use his talent to bring glory to his Creator. In the post-round interview, he was asked: "Did you use any routines or techniques to kind of calm and center yourself either when you went home at night this week or on the course in such a pressure situation?"

Zach replied: "You know, I have little things that I tell myself about my round, about my day. Really, nothing changes from week-to-week. It could be a Thursday at a random tournament, it could be a Sunday obviously at Augusta. I say the same things to myself, just how to approach each shot, how to approach each hole. Today, the only thing different was the fact that it was Easter. I felt like regardless of what happened today, my responsibility was to glorify God and hopefully He thinks I did."

No commentary needed on that. I hope Zach keeps winning tournaments and keeps using his platform as an opportunity to give all the credit to Jesus.
