LETTER
'Well done Trevor Immelman'
14/04/2008 13:30  - (SA)  

  • Immelman clinches maiden major
  • Woods to target Immelman
  • Dear Editor,

    I believe that I speak for many when I say "Well done Trevor Immelman".

    To not only win the Masters (annually played on arguably the most difficult course in the world), but to do so after leading from start to finish was incredibly impressive, even more so after considering what this man had to endure just a few months ago with a serious cancer scare and his subsequent operation to remove the tumour.

    What extreme pressure he must have been under, especially after hitting into the water and with "The Tiger" only three shots behind after that double bogey, but how well he handled it.

    What a marvellous ambassador for his country and his sport.It was definitely worth staying up until 02:00 to watch (I am feeling the effects today however).

    Such a pity that neither the state broadcaster nor e.tv could find it within themselves to screen it for everybody to enjoy.

    Once again well done Mr Immelman, you have made your country extremely proud.

    The Truth,
    Durban

    Golf is the only sport where one is reliant on skill & mental ability and the best man wins at any particular tournament. To beat the greatest golfer ever (Woods) and a chasing pack of equally impressive competitors over the 4 days took immense concentration and character. well done Trevor!! - Gee PMB

    What a great win! With our president making such an ass of himself for all the world to see, it was wonderful to see our flag at the top of the leaderboard-something positive for a change. - SF
