ANOTHER SOUTH AFRICAN
HONOUR FOR IMMELMAN
Trevor Immelman has picked up a second South African Player of the Year award for 2006.
Just two months after being named the Golf Digest Player of the Year for 2006, Trevor doubled up on honours when he was named the 2006 Golfer of the Year at the Compleat Golfer Annual Awards dinner held at The Wanderers Club in Johannesburg.
Last year was the breakthrough season in world pro golf for the 27-year-old double SAA Open champion, who has long been earmarked for greatness.
After losing in a play-off to Jim Furyk in May, Immelman fought back with a breakthrough maiden victory at the Cialis Western Open, holding off Tiger Woods, coming down the stretch.
He set a new record for rookie earnings (nearly $4million) and was awarded the US PGA Tour’s Rookie of the Year honours for 2006, having finished seventh on the money list, and he climbed 49 places in the Official World Golf Rankings, finishing the year at number 13.
