Zach Johnson Wins Colonial with Record Score: Zach Johnson won the Colonial in Fort Worth Sunday with a six-under 64 in the final round. His score of 21-under 259 broke the tournament record by two strokes. Five of Johnson's seven PGA Tour victories have come since he won the Masters in 2007.
I was checkin' PGA scores for the hell of it on the Sportacular app (I finally joined the iPhone generation) ... I thought, "Wow! 21-under ... that's gotta be a record."
Now I know. It is.

Before Sunday, only 72 players in the tournament's 64-year history had shot all four rounds in the 60s at Colonial; 28 did it this week.
Someone was bound to break the record given the absurdly favorable playing conditions.

On review, that comment looks awfully snarky. Good for Zach- even given those conditions he was the only one capable of taking down the record.
