Trevor Who?
posted in News |Trevor Immelman is the only player to have 3 rounds in the 60’s at The Masters up until this point. The young man, despite the media has done an outstanding job in all phases of the game. All the media wants to talk about in regards to Trevor is that he has never won a major and has not been playing particularly well after an illness. Get over it, every player that wins a major has to win for the first time at some point. Even the great Tiger had to win for the first time.
Every player in the press room is asked constantly about Tiger winning at Augusta, I would think this is getting very old. So far Tiger has only one round in the 60’s, he has never come from a 54 hole deficit and won a major, but reading the news and listening to the media, Tiger has this one in the bag. I hope Tiger wins today, because if he doesn’t, then it is very likely that the rest of the season will be canceled.
Trevor Immelman will be a very strong willed individual if he can stand the pressure of today and the massive adversity of the general media as to his chances of winning.
I would like for the announcers to pretend that the fan is watching TV and not listening to radio when they are announcing. The final round should be very exciting, especially when the leaders reach the back nine.
In years past the job of the media was to report the news, not be the news. The players in any sport have enough to concentrate on without having to deal with the media trying to sway the outcome of the competition. Seems the media in sports has become very much like the media in politics.
Just let the players do the playing and decide who should wear this year’s green jacket.
