VOLVO PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Trevor Immelman

Q. 69, you started well but finished not quite so well; you must be a little disappointed with the end.

TREVOR IMMELMAN: Yeah, I got off to a good start, which is for the first time ever on this golf course. I got to the 10th hole and thought I had quite a nice tee shot, just came up short, went down the bank and missed a short putt. Missed another short one on 11, then holed one for eagle on 12 and that got me going a little bit.

You know, then I missed a 10-footer, a 15-footer. Then two putts from four feet and six feet on the last two holes. I think it could have been a few shots better, but all in all I'm happy. I've been a little inconsistent of late, so to put two solid rounds together back-to-back is going to be good for my confidence.

Q. It was such a great start to the year, winning the South African title, was that almost too good a start; do you feel you lost momentum since then?

TREVOR IMMELMAN: I've definitely lost momentum. I put a lot of work into my game in the off-season over December and the start of January, and really wanted to peak for those tournaments in South Africa. You know, I did, and I think it took a lot out of me. Then I was kind of flying all over the world, playing The Match Play and down in Australia and Dubai and then back to the States playing there. So I think I had run out of gas by the time Bay Hill and TPC and all those tournaments came around.

I've kind of lost my momentum a little bit, as you said, but I've been working hard at it. It's just, as I said, nice to put two solid rounds together again.

Q. I gather you lost an inch around the waist and put on about ten pounds.

TREVOR IMMELMAN: Yeah, I've been working hard on the physical side. Obviously being 5¹9, I've got to get everything out of it that I can. I've been working with a trainer over in the States and we've done some good work. So I'm feeling good. And I've always believed if you feel that you've got a strong body, you've got a strong mind. That's where I'm coming from.
