The tournament was forced to go an extra day because of the heavy rains and winds.

Johnson, who is a dedicated Christian, talked about his victory and his faith after winning the trophy.

"It hasn't set in yet—I gotta be honest. But I felt great, I was patient, I had some Scripture going in my head, I thank the Lord, I thank my friends, I thank my family... I'm just in awe right now," Zach Johnson said.

Johnson became a Christian after meeting the woman he eventually married.
