Zach Johnson Dominates Principal Charity Classic for Second Champions Tour Win

Zach Johnson claimed his second victory on the PGA Tour Champions, winning the Principal Charity Classic in his home state of Iowa. Johnson, who grew up in Cedar Rapids, finished the tournament at 17-under 199, securing a four-stroke lead at the Wakonda Club. His final round included a 5-under 67, following an opening 69 and a strong 63 on Saturday.

This win in Des Moines represents Johnson's second triumph in his inaugural season on the 50-and-over circuit. Earlier in March, he also won the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational in his senior debut, quickly establishing himself as a contender in the senior ranks.

The competition saw Richard Green, currently priced at +2500 (Bovada) for the US Senior Open, and Retief Goosen, available at +2500 (Bovada), tie for second place with final rounds of 68 and 70, respectively. David Bransdon, listed at +30000 (Bovada), and Brett Quigley, who can be found at +25000 (Bovada), finished tied for fifth, both at 12-under par.

Steve Stricker, who is currently +5500 (Bovada) for the US Senior Open, participated in his second consecutive event after beginning his PGA Tour Champions season at his hosted tournament in Wisconsin. Stricker concluded the Principal Charity Classic tied for 40th place at 5-under par, posting a 69 in his final round.

Johnson's consistent performance positions him as a notable player as he continues his first year on the PGA Tour Champions. His current price for the John Deere Classic is +7000 (FanDuel).
