Paul Johnson and Jon Berry Win Chick-Fil-A Golf Challenge…..Again
Georgia Tech head football coach Paul Johnson and former GT basketball standout Jon Berry won their fourth Chick-Fil-A golf challenge in the last four years this week. It was their second straight victory in the charity classic.
The Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge is an annual golf tournament which competes various school’s (mostly in the south) head football coaches + a school celebrity. Johnson and Berry have formed a formidable duo over the last handful of years.
This one was close, however, as GA Tech had to battle it out with Alabama’s Nick Saban and Mark Ingram. It was a one-stroke victory over the Tide which came in the fourth playoff hole.
Johnson and Berry won 100,000 in scholarships for Tech. Congrats!
