                               RESOLUTION


 
  Congratulating Zach Johnson on his victory in the 2007 Masters golf 
                              tournament.

Whereas, on April 8, 2007, Zach Johnson, a native Iowan, won the Masters 
        Tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia;
Whereas, the Masters has been won by some of golf's greatest champions, 
        including Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Gary 
        Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and many others;
Whereas, Zach Johnson's final round of three-under-par 69 for a total score of 
        289 was two strokes better than that of any other competitor;
Whereas, in a final day on which six different players led, Zach Johnson showed 
        great skill, patience and will to withstand the challenge of the weather 
        and the course;
Whereas, Zach Johnson is the first Iowan to win the Masters, and the first Iowan 
        to win a major championship in golf since Jack Fleck's playoff victory 
        over Ben Hogan in the 1955 U.S. Open; and
Whereas, Zach Johnson has brought great pride and honor to his family, friends, 
        and the citizens of Iowa with his victory: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate congratulates Zach Johnson on his 
outstanding accomplishment in winning the 2007 Masters golf tournament.
