UCA Assistant Golf Coach Jack O’Keefe was attuned to Zach Johnson’s potential before the Master’s golf tournament began last week, according to Louisville Courier-Journal columnist Eric Crawford.
“O’Keefe made his first visit to Augusta for a practice round Wednesday,” Crawford wrote. “His eyes bloodshot from pulling an all-nighter to get there, he told me, ‘Look for Zach Johnson.'” Johnson was the surprise winner of the Master’s on Sunday.
UCA President Lu Hardin gave his two Master’s tickets to O’Keefe and UCA Head Golf Coach Ryke Dismuke.
