"It's in the hole!" Immelman Wins Masters Tournament

Published 14 April 08 03:25 PM | scoutmom

OK, so it's not EXACTLY the same thing.  But I still think Bill Murray said it best in Caddyshack:  "Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!"

So he isn't a former greenskeeper.  But what the heck, the rest of it applies to South African Trevor Immelman's (Trevor who?)  winning the Masters Tournament Sunday at Augusta National.  Even Tiger Woods couldn't get it together enough to catch 28-year old Immelman in his quest for a first Major victory EVER.  He's the first player since 1980 to lead (or share the lead) for every round. 

Saturday night, his boyhood hero Gary Player, who won his third and final Masters title 30 years ago, left a voicemail for Trevor "I know you're going to win."  How cool was that!

Oh, and that OTHER guy everyone expected to come from behind and win a fifth green jacket and 14th major?  Maybe Trevor could give him a few putting lessons.

Yay! Scoutmom's back. Don't you just love to see deserving winners? You could tell a lifelong dream had been fulfilled for him.

First Zach wins last year, now Trevor this year.  It was wonderful!
