Congratulations to Zach Johnson for winning The Open Championship. Zach, with his Titleist clubs and SeeMore putter, now has 2 majors under his belt and has been a consistent winner on tour for a while.

What would be better than watching someone lip out his tee shot on the par 4 10th at Riviera? How about getting to talk with that man personally? That man, Ryan Moore, joins us in this episode of GolfBetter. Moore, a native of the Seattle/Tacoma area, gives us a preview of the 2015 US Open…
