Gary Player at the Masters: "The closest to Ben Hogan's swing is Trevor Immelman"
In 2008, it seems Gary Player is on his best behavior following a controversial run which saw him tell the press that he knew of golfers that used steroids, while taking heat for his involvement with a golf course in Myanmar.
At the Masters, however, Player played it safer, even though his South African bias may have added some hyperbole:
“His swing is absolutely the closest that I have seen to Ben Hogan, and I’ve always thought that Ben Hogan was the best striker of the ball from tee to green that I ever saw, from tee to green. And I think the closest to Ben Hogan’s swing is Trevor Immelman. Marvelous.”
High praise indeed.

Absolute rubbish. Did you see the slo-mo comparing the two? Not to say anything derogatory about either of their swings, of course, just that I saw no similarity whatsoever.

Sing this to the tune of "o tannenbaum":
hy-perbole, hy-perbole, thy name is gary player
hy-perbole, hy-perbole, thy name is gary player
he will suggest, south africa
that trevor's swing is mastahful
hy-perbole, hy-perbole, thy name is gary player
I'm working on another verse on steroids, which Trevor obviously doesn't take.
