JOHANNESBURG, Feb 22 (Reuters) – Former Masters champion Trevor Immelman is hoping a trip home to South Africa will help reignite a career that has slumped dramatically over recent years.
The 37-year-old, who won at Augusta in 2008, plays on the European Tour at the Joburg Open this week as he seeks to rekindle a career that held much promise but has been blighted by injury and a loss of form.
"It’s always exciting to come back. As soon as those aeroplane wheels touch the ground, there’s something inside you that knows that you’re home," said Immelman, who is based in Florida and last played in South Africa one year ago.
