Immelman, never previously even close to capturing one of the four, led from start to finish at Augusta National and fully deserved his moment of glory.

But he admits he remains in total awe of what Woods is doing in the game of golf saying: "The guy boggles my mind. I'm an avid sports fan and I study top sportsmen. This guy is frightening in what he gets done and how he gets it done and the ease in which he gets it done."

He added: "To win 13 majors at the age of 32 is just frightening. It's just crazy to think how many he's going to get to.

"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."

Immelman is now, of course, the only man for whom the grand slam of four majors is on this season. The next stop is the US Open at Torrey Pines in California in June.

Woods, though, is a six-time winner on that course, including his last four visits, so when the Cape Town player was asked directly if he was going to win the grand slam the reply was not unexpected.

"Probably not, no," he said.

Not that he does not believe in himself to go from strength to strength now.

"I'm definitely not going to sit back and go 'okay, I'm done'. I'm going to keep working and try to make the most of what I've been given."
