And he wanted to caddy,” Johnson said to the USA Today. “I don’t have much family here this year, which is a rare thing, so I said what the heck. I’ve always wanted to meet him. I’m a sports freak in general and I’m a tennis freak, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to meet him.”
“Great day today! Front with JByrd and @stewartcink. Then par 3 with @andyroddick on the bag! 75 deg weather at Augusta Natl…#perfectday”, John said on twitter.
Andy tweeted his on message of thanks. “Big thanks to @zachjohnsonpga for letting me tag along yesterday! Gonna watch him do work at Augusta this week.”

“I was coming here with some buddies and thought it would be cool if I could caddie for someone,” Roddick said to augusta.com. “Not only did I get to walk with someone, but I got to walk with a champion.”
