Johnson Picks Up Another Win at Sony

Zach Johnson had a lei around his neck and a glass of champagne in his hand Sunday night as he toasted the members of Waialae after a two shot victory in the Sony Open. They laughed and applauded when he said the worst part of Hawaii is leaving it. The best part of winning is that he gets to come back. Hawaii is such a beautiful place.

Johnson closed with a 5-under 65 on Sunday to outlast David Toms in a well played duel along the back nine. He finished with a two putt birdie for a two shot victory over Toms and Adam Scott. Referring to the season opener at Kapalua for PGA Tour winners, Johnson said he gets to go back to Maui again and Oahu too. He said starting his year in these two destinations is pretty awesome. This was his fifth career victory and second in his last six starts and can be traced to last week and his tie for sixth.
