What You Missed: Crowne Plaza Invitational

Zach Johnson won the 2010 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial this past weekend in record fashion. He posted a record low score of -21 and won by 3 strokes over Brian Davis. Johnson won despite two late weather delays on the final day of the tournament and now has a plaid jacket to go with that green one. This is the seventh victory on the PGA Tour for Johnson and with the win he collected a cool $1.116 million.
