Zach Johnson leads Tournament of Champions at halfway point

On the golf course with the widest fairways on the PGA Tour, Zach Johnson believes that keeping the ball in the short grass is key to success.

And he worried a bit about the newly enacted legalization of the gentle herb in Washington and Colorado, not in full-on apocalyptic moral-panic mode, but in that chiding David-Brooksian way that kind of makes you wish you had some means of briefly escaping the finger-wagging and turning it into an easily-ignored background buzz. Ha, buzz. Brooks worries that the new laws will encourage laxity and unseriousness.
