The divine Mr. Imm

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Trevor Immelman is shots ahead of his closest pursuer with five holes to play, which is as much the product of the wacky conditions as it is his own steady play.

Immelman hasn't done anything especially spectacular today. He missed a 2-foot putt for birdie on No. 7 and struggled to control the ball with the wind sustaining 20 to 25 mph gusts. But this is why he should soon be wearing the Masters green jacket and celebrating his first major:

He came into this day leading the field in driving accuracy and in greens hit in regulation.

Coming in, Immelman ranked 202nd on the PGA Tour in putts per greens in regulation. There were only two golfers behind him -- David Lutterus and Steve Allan (not the similarly-named comedian). Immelman isn't known as a terror on the greens, but he could soon be a terror in green because of his work off the tee and from the fairway.
