McGladrey Congratulates Team McGladrey Member Zach Johnson

CHICAGO - July 21, 2015 - PRLog -- On behalf of McGladrey’s more than 8,000 employees in 80 cities nationwide and RSM International’s employees worldwide, I would like to congratulate Team McGladrey Member Zach Johnson (http://mcgladrey.com/content/mcgladrey/en_US/newsroom/golf-partnership/team-mcgladrey/zach-johnson.html) on his win of the 2015 Open Championship!

Zach prevailed in a three-man playoff to win the tournament, claiming his second career major by squeezing out a par on the final hole of the playoff at No. 18.

Johnson rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt at the 72nd hole for a 6-under 66 that put him at 15-under through regulation. When Johnson’s final putt dropped in the cup, his knees buckled and he pumped his right fist. His caddie, Damon Green, did his infamous chicken dance to celebrate.

Zach demonstrates daily the values of the game of golf: respect, integrity, teamwork, excellence and stewardship – values which are shared by McGladrey. We are thrilled to have Zach as a member of Team McGladrey (http://mcgladrey.com/content/mcgladrey/en_US/newsroom/gol...).
