Now PGAtour.com weighs in on the Hawkeyes, with its Zach Johnson connection

By now, you may have seen a video or read a story about PGA Tour star and native Iowan Zach Johnson being in the Iowa Hawkeyes' locker room after their 20-10 win at Wisconsin on Oct. 17.
PGAtour.com has seized the story and expanded on it. Here's one of what I thought were the more interesting quotes:
Johnson on Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz: "He always mentions that how I approach my business is how the team does. I am probably not the most gifted of athletes, but through hard work, perseverance and grinding it out, good things can happen. The team does the same things."
And this:
"We are getting a lot of publicity with being undefeated," Johnson said. "In talking and listening and reading what Coach Ferentz has to say, though, that's all it is -- publicity. We have four tough games left, three of which are at home, which is nice. I hope to get back for another, too.
"But I don't like expectations. In my sport, I don't like to say I should play well here or I should win there. They just need to stick to what they've been doing, their process, and what they've been doing in practice, and there's no telling what they can do."
