“We want to give a good foundation to the Foundation."

Mike Hlas was at Zach Johnson's first foundation fundraiser Monday and the former Masters Champ sprung a shocker on the gathered attendees.

Monday afternoon, after the golfing was done at Johnson’s inaugural event at Elmcrest Country Club, he made an announcement about that decision at the awards ceremony. He and Kim, his wife, would match every dollar raised this year, to bump the total to about $1 million.

So the Kids on Course program the Johnsons founded to give Cedar Rapids elementary school children various experiences to bring them closer to their academic potential is off the tee and airborne.

According to Hlas, that's about a $500,000 check he'll be writing.

Gary Van Sickle follows up with Johnson looper Damon Green after his U.S. Senior Open 13th place finish. Fittingly, Green appeared at Johnson's fundraiser as a player, but not before this Sunday at Inverness:

Green had his share of Sunday highlights. After he holed an unlikely chip-in for birdie at the 13th green, he did his full-bore, two-arms-flapping, two-stepping Chicken Walk in celebration. It's Green's trademark move, and corny as it is, the galleries lapped it up. When he made a nice birdie putt at the sixth and went into Chicken-Walk mode, two fans huddled in the shade behind the green tried to imitate the move.

"Well, golf is so boring," Green said. "You've got to do something to spice it up a little bit, and I've done that for years. Towards the latter part of my career, I was doing them for pars."
