A PROUD SOUTH AFRICAN, did it - he beat the best of the world -leading on all four days of the tournament- to take the US Masters 2008 title. He got a rather shabby green jacket for his effort, oh, and a little over a million Dollars in cash...Gary Player, another in South Africa's long list of golfing greats, has been saying for years that Immelman has it in him to beat the best in the business. On Sunday he proved this beyond any doubt.
We're all waiting with bated breath for Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Rory Sabbatini or any of the other South Africans playing the European and/or American Tours to hit some long overdue form. In the meanwhile Trevor has delivered the goods. It also reminds one that Ernie, Retief and the others -as great as they are-, are not the only South Africans with the ability to win the big tournaments - even the majors.
It bodes well for our golfing future.

Presentation of green jacket and gracious acceptance speech by Trevor Immelman. I'm glad to notice that our players tend to be excellent ambassadors for the country - displaying humility whenever they're victorious.
