Zach Johnson won the Open Championship Monday in a playoff for his second career major title. Jordan Spieth came up one stroke shy of the playoff in his bid to win the third leg of the Grand Slam, but he was among the first to congratulate Johnson as he walked off the course. Spieth was also among several players who tweeted out their well wishes:
Wow.. Almost. Nothing quite like @TheOpen at St Andrews. We fought hard. Very proud of a role model and friend of mine @ZachJohnsonPGA

Zach wins at Augusta and The Old Course, probably thought he'd only get the one at Augusta, gets him into The Hall of Fame.
