ANKENY, Iowa – An appearance by Zach Johnson, the 2007 Masters and 2015 British Open Champion, highlighted the annual Drake Golf Classic on Tuesday, May 31.
Despite afternoon thunderstorms canceling the second nine of play on the exclusive Talons of Tuscany Course, golfers were treated to an afternoon lunch with Johnson as he talked with fondness about being part of the Drake family. The Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native and 1998 Drake graduate also took questions from the record-breaking Drake Golf Classic field and posed for photos with those in attendance and the Claret Jug.
Once the inclement weather cleared, Johnson and the 22 foursomes that participated earlier, took to the course's infamous 19th hole where Johnson entertained more questions while sharing tips and tricks on the 148-yard hole over water.
