2015 British Open Champion Zach Johnson with the trophies pregame at Wrigley Field.

Zach Johnson won his second major this year, when he won the British Open at St. Andrews. He joins a small club of golfers who have won both the Masters and the British Open at St. Andrews.

Johnson was also victorious at the 2013 BMW Championship at Conway Farms the site of this years BMW.

While Johnson is not the defending champion in the BMW Championship, (Billy Horschel is), he does have bragging rights when it comes to Conway Farms.

So to help promote the championship coming up Sept. 14-20, Johnson made a tour of Chicago with the hardware after the PGA Championship. One of those stops was Wrigley Field at a recent Cubs game.

While Johnson did throw out the first pitch, a long rain delay kept him from singing the 7th inning stretch again, something he did after his Masters wins a few year ago.

Pre-game he did do an interview session with the media and you can hear it below.
