Quotes from Golf Champion

Interesting quotes from the Master's Golf tournament champion...

Johnson, who describes himself as “just a normal guy,” from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is married and has a three-month-old son.

“My Christian faith is very important to me,” Johnson said. “It was very special to win the Masters golf tournament on Easter Sunday. I am very blessed. I would like to thank God. I felt Jesus Christ with me on the golf course every step of the way.”

“Being Easter, my goal was to glorify God and hopefully I did that today,” he said, crediting PGA Tour chaplain Larry Moody, of Search Ministry, for the weekly Bible study that Johnson said allowed him to remain peaceful during the final round, reported the Baptist Press April 9.

“On the 18th green, seeing my wife and our new baby, my parents and brother, I started to get emotional,” Johnson said. “I tried to stay in the moment and just started praying.”
