A pathetic edit job on “Zach” Johnson (pga.com fail)

I don’t see how this stuff gets by supposed professionals. This is from the pga.com website:

Evidently nobody reads this stuff before posting it. I can see how “Zack” can happen; it’s a real name. But htf does “Aach” make it in? Even a pedestrian spell checker like Word 2007 tried to change it to – you guessed [...]
