Shawn Johnson and Zach Johnson (no relation) have represented Iowa well this week.
Shawn is the perky little 17-year-old from West Des Moines who won an Olympic gold medal in Beijing in gymnastics. This week, she won the Dancing With the Stars event! She's the youngest to ever win.
Zack won the Valero Texas Open golf tournament in San Antonio last Sunday. The payoff for that one was about $1.3M. Total winnings as a pro: about $15M. Not bad for a young guy, is it!
We're pretty proud of Zack, as Cedar Rapids is his hometown. In fact, his parents go to the same church as Pat does.
As a point of interest, Kurt Warner, quarterback, is also a Cedar Rapidian. Locally, both are considered to be "good guys" and have made significant contributions to local organizations.
Johnson & Johnson: great folks representing Iowa and Iowa values well.
