Johnson picks surf and turf for Champions dinner

American Zach Johnson will dish up a menu with a Midwest flavour when he hosts the traditional champions dinner on Tuesday before he launches the defence of his U.S. Masters crown later this week.

"The main courses will be corn-fed beef, go figure, and then ahi tuna, if they don't want any steak," said Johnson, who was born and raised in Iowa in the American heartland.

"And then we've got some shrimp. My wife is from Amelia Island, so that's a shrimp mecca and I've got corn, obviously. I think we've got a corn casserole, if I'm not mistaken or corn pudding," he told reporters.
