Fitness Testimony
Many golfers used Tuesday’s practice round to sharpen their game for the start of the Masters. But for three-time Masters champion Gary Player, it was another testament to his everlasting fitness and positive attitude.
“I feel great,” the 72-year-old Player said after climbing the incline of the 18th hole and finishing his practice round.
“I’m fit as a fiddle and so excited to be here.”
Player will break the Tournament participation record with his 51st appearance when he tees off at 8:44 a.m. Thursday with Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez and American D.J. Trahan.
He said the success of four-time Champion Tiger Woods continues to inspire him to not to stop playing at the Masters any time soon.
“I’m just so happy that Tiger has been successful choosing the same path I also followed of looking fit, working out, speaking well, and looking sharp,” said the South African. “I am his biggest fan and he is an inspiration to me.”
