Trevor Immelman has won the 2008 masters. The Masters is known as the biggest golf tournament of the year. Tiger Woods, who was expected by everyone to win, came in second place. Any tournamnet in which Tiger does not win is considered a surprise. Immelman gets his first maajor win ever. Only four months ago, Immelman was in a hospital in South Africa as doctors prepared to remove a tumor from his diaphragm, learning only after the operation that it was benign. In my opinion it is always a great story when an underdog wins. Tiger Woods is by far the number one golfer in the world, and to Immelmans credit he was able to out golf him in the biggest tournamnet of it all. Immelmans lead never got lower than two strokes on Tiger. The big debate os going to be in Tiger Woods lost the tournament, or did Immelman win it. Although Tiger did miss some makeable putts, Immelman stayed consitstent and played solid golf all weekend at a tough course. That was why Immelman wore the green jacket, as Masters winners do.
