Zach Johnson Is Taking Care of His Green Jacket

Zach Johnson has been extremely busy since winning the Masters on Sunday afternoon. After winning the Masters, he had to do the whole press thing and then celebrate his victory in Atlanta. He then had to jump on a plane to do the David Letterman show on Monday as well as various other visits to radio/television personnel.

Being that he has never won the Masters or actually believe he would be the Masters champion of 2007, he was unsure of how much he should be wearing the green jacket. While he was at the ESPN Zone in New York on Monday, he decided that he didn't want to overwear it and offend the members of Augusta National. This excerpt was pulled from the NY Times story today:

"Johnson arrived at the ESPN Zone in Times Square and hung it (the green jacket) on a chair with a white trash bag around it."

Come on Zach, you just won the Masters and you can't have someone run to a store for you and buy you a nice garment bag to hold that coveted green jacket? I mean I love Zach and all for his representin' of this great state, but seriously, buy something to keep that thing lookin' sharp. It kind of sounds like he has the same response that Happy Gilmore had to the gold jacket in the movie. "Gold jacket, green jacket...who gives a shit"?
