Iowa women’s basketball superstar Caitlin Clark traded one sport for another on Wednesday for the John Deere Classic Pro-Am as she golfed with PGA pro Zach Johnson.
Johnson, an Iowa native, spent some time on the links with Clark, and the two had some hilarious banter with each other during the day’s media availability. Among the topics discussed were Clark’s remaining eligibility with Iowa and if Johnson is actually funny or not.
Judging by the tenor of this very enjoyable interview session, we’re guessing both of these Iowa sports legends can bring the laughs while competing at the height of their respective sports.

It’s great for Iowa fans to see Clark and Johnson spending some time together as luminaries for their state, and it’s always fun with an athlete like Clark takes a chance by trying their hand at another sport.
It was a very Hawkeye-friendly day at this golf tournament, that’s for sure.
