Immelman Survives Pressure To Win Masters Immelman was draped with his first green jacket as he raised his honor to victory" Last years masters champion Zach Johnston proudly awarded Trevor who was plus-three four the round, but held to win. Immelman one of the tours youngest superstars was poised and very confident at winning this final round,"Immelman quoted he listened to voice mail from his idol South African Gary Player and helped Immelman for what was about to be seen in the crucible of back 9 Augusta National.

Tiger Woods reflected on his second-place finish at The Masters, and admitted: "I didn't putt well all week."A closing birdie was little consolation for Woods, whose bid for a Grand Slam fell at the first hurdle. Woods said: "I kept dragging the blade - I wasn't releasing it like I normally do."When a 70-footer went in on the 11th, everyone wondered if he could mount a charge and really pile the pressure on leader Trevor Immelman. But he bogeyed the 14th, did not birdie either of the par fives and the three on the last was too little too late as the 13-time major winner signed for a final-round 72, finishing three shots adrift of Immelman.

Tiger's knee injury is killing my motivation to watch golf
I wasn't really looking forward to the next 2 weeks on the PGA Tour. Basically, it was going to be 14 days without Tiger, but I figured I could bite the bullet until he returned to defend his crown at the Wachovia Championship .
But "holy nike Batman", now its going to be 4 to 6 weeks because the "King of Swing" had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee for the second time in 5 years.
Don't get me wrong , it was great watching Trevor Immelman marching to his first green jacket at the Masters.
You can't say anything negative about Immelman, that guy has game and is to legit to quit. But I like to see the best.
The Tiger swagger when the rest of the field is shaking in their boots . How about the fist pump at the end of a 70 footer for birdie ? What about the blind hook between the trees that lands softly on the green? All Tiger trademarks , all gone for 4 to 6 weeks because of knee surgery . Woods will probably also miss the Players Championship , but should be back in time for the U.S. Open on June 12th at Torry Pines.
