Immelman certainly deserved the win, and i think he will go on to win a couple more majors. Once again Tiger came close, and its amazing he hasnt finished outside the top 12 in a major since the PGA in 2004 (apart from the missed cut in the US Open after a long break). Despite Trevor playing great golf, Tiger could easily have been 5 shots better on the back 9 alone but thats the way the cookie crumbles. Id also like to wish Tiger a speedy recovery from the knee operation and im sure he will be hoisting the US Open trophy in June!

Why do we still keep droning on about Tiger. Yes he is brilliant but even he has said that more and more players are stepping up a gear to challenge so it shouldn't be such a surprise when they start to win. Even when we get a phenomenal wire to wire win, the media drag out the same tired analysis of Tiger's game an colour of his underpants. Let's start to see some constructive comment on the other players instead of just dismissing them as people who just turn up to play with Tiger.

Ewen Murray is right that Tiger Woods' putting at Doral and Augusta was the stuff only of mere mortals (i.e. the rest of the golfing professionals). But Tiger's unshakeable self-belief, rock-steady nerve and sheer, bloody determination held him up even when not playing well and got him to second place in the Masters. If brilliant Trevor Immelman had stumbled badly, Tiger would now be 2008 Masters' champion. If only our talented British players could sustain their self-belief when things go wrong - as things always do at some time or other - instead of chucking in the proverbial towel and rapidly disappearing down the leader board. They should all have NEVER GIVE UP! tatooed on the backs of their hands! Being a great player means being great under the most intense pressure and scrutiny. Maybe our lot are just too nice to win.

Tiger was overhyped by the media - 8s for the grand slam. What nonsense. This provided some excellent each way value for other golfers in the field. Picked up a little each way value about Trevor Immelman - 150/1 earlier in the week with Stan James. Long may the hype continue for the remaining Majors and more profitable betting opportunities
