Immelman’s Mastery
South Africa has produced more than its share of great golfers. And yet Trevor Immelman’s victory in today’s Masters at Augusta National made him the first South African winner of a green jacket since the incomparable Gary Player won in 1978. This was Immelman’s tournament and Immelman’s week. He was unflappable playing from the lead and never put himself in a position where his lead was in jeopardy. Tiger Woods never got it going, and the other challengers let the moment get to them.
