Trevor Immelman knew at some point on Sunday he would hear the footsteps of Tiger Woods. He did, and he responded well, holding off Woods and winning the coveted Green Jacket at the Masters.

Trevor Immelman Holds Off Tiger Woods, Wins Green Jacket
Tiger Woods has been in this position plenty of times in his career. He came into the final round chasing the leaders at the Masters, but he was poised to make his move.

Trevor Immelman was the leader coming into Sunday, but that lead meant nothing with Woods lurking. Immelman did not have his best round, shooting +3, but he did enough to win the Masters championship.

Woods started the day in fifth place, and did manage to finish second. When you're Tiger woods, however, second place is not the goal at major championships.

"This has been the ultimate roller coaster ride, and I hate roller coasters," said Immelman. The roller coaster ended with his feet firmly on the ground, and with him wearing the Green Jacket.

"I knew he was going to make a run. To win a major while he's playing, and he's playing at his peak...it's a hell of an achievement. I'm not sure if I'll ever get it done again, but I'll be trying my best," said Immelman.
