Videos: Interviewing Zach and Rosey on the range at The Open

I'm not sure what exactly I was trying to find on YouTube, in the process, I came across the below interviews from the Open Championship, where I worked as a presenter for @The Open Live, the official behind-the-scenes online broadcast of the championship.

I started with the one I liked better (not the player, silly), which was Zach Johnson, fresh off his second victory on the PGA Tour in 2012 at the John Deere Classic.

When I saw Zach on Monday'probably not long after he had gotten off the plane from Quad Cities, I asked if he'd do the interview, but he was busy, apologized, and said he'd do it later in the week. Cool, no big deal.

When I needed to find a player to interview on Wednesday morning at Royal Lytham, I saw Zach at the other end of the range and as he saw me appraoching he said, 'Oh yeah, I owe you!'

For what? Being busy on Monday when I initially asked? Sounds good to me.

I wanted to hug Zach. I mean, how many of the top-ranked players would say and do that? Probably a handful (including Stewart Cink). Plus, the timing was perfect because we were going live in five minutes and I needed to find someone to interview for the spot.

Here's my chat with Zach, just a few days after he had won his second Tour victory of 2012, the John Deere Classic, in dramatic fashion (also for the second time of the season).

Secondly, here's the second or third interview I did on-camera at the start of the week. Justin Rose didn't have a most ideal week and and missed the cut at Lytham.
