“Six months ago, he took the director of instruction position at the Meadow Club. Members from both his former and current club were out in force to support him during the first two rounds at Silverado Resort. After making the cut on Friday, a steady stream of caddies, including Steve (Pepsi) Hale, came over to congratulate him and wish him luck this weekend. Johnson played college golf at Northwestern University alongside European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald and grew up playing against the likes of James Hahn, Nick Watney and Ricky Barnes, who are still toiling on the pro circuit.
“I feel like I’m not forgotten. Guys that were a couple of years older than me that I didn’t even know they knew I existed, like Charley Hoffman and Matt Kuchar, came up to me this week and to have all these years go by and to hear them call me by my first name, it was like Whoa,” Johnson said.”

“Johnson was hired as assistant men’s golf coach at UC Davis… Aggies coach Cy Williams did his due diligence before putting Johnson in a position of responsibility, talking to Pat Goss, Johnson’s college coach at Northwestern, and Jim Sochor, the former UC Davis football and golf coach Johnson has relied on for guidance. “Both were in strong support of Tom… They said he would be a great hire, which he’s been. “He loves coaching. He’s going to be a (full-time) coach at some point in his life. He’s great at it, and the guys love him.”
