Zach Johnson Wins British Open After Three-Way Playoff

Zach Johnson claimed his second career major today at St. Andrews after dispatching Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman in a four-hole playoff to claim the Open Championship.

Johnson missed a putt to win while up one stroke on Oosthuizen, only to see the South African miss the subsequent birdie putt that handed the Claret Jug to Johnson, who ( with the help of Jesus) had previously won the Masters. Johnson struggled for words in his interview afterward with ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi, which you can view above.
