World’s No. 1 golf GPS app provides tour-quality information, patented club tracking
(SCOTTSDALE, AZ) – GolfLogix – the No. 1 App for Golf and a world leader in GPS and club-tracking technology – congratulates staff player Zach Johnson on moving into the top 10 of the Official Golf World Rankings following his come-from-behind Northwestern Mutual World Challenge win at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, CA.
“I hit some close shots coming down the stretch, placed myself into good numbers, where I could be aggressive,” said Johnson. “I know what my talent is, including limitations, and know my game. I just like to compete, where you have you to execute, you have to hit a shot.”
Showcasing the GolfLogix logo on his left sleeve, Johnson rallied from four shots behind with eight holes to play, dramatically holed out on the 72nd hole to force a playoff and then captured the title on the first playoff hole. With the win, he rose to a career-best ninth in the Official World Golf Ranking list.
“Course management is very important to my success, as my caddie, Damon, and I detail every aspect of each shot,” Johnson added. “GolfLogix gives all players precise distances and similar Tour-quality data to play their best – at no cost.”

For less than $20, an upgraded annual Champion membership provides golfers with club tracking and distances to any location on the hole such as pin position, hazards and landing zones.
“Zach is consistently ranked among the PGA Tour’s best for proximity to the hole, in large part because of his dedication to strategic positioning in attacking the green,” says GolfLogix President Pete Charleston. “We’ve worked tirelessly to create FREE tools for players to similarly get a complete picture of their own games, so they can play better golf and enjoy it more.”
