Know More About Masters Champion Charl Schwartzel

In April 2011, Schwartzel won the 75th Masters Tournament by two strokes to become the third South African winner of the event. Let's know more about Masters champion Charl Schwartzel.

He learned golf by Callaway FT i-Brid Irons from his father in South Africa when he is four years old. "He told me from the go the right grip, the right stance, rhythm, posture, balance. There's five key things that we always worked on. Whenever something goes wrong, it will be one of those five that has gone haywire somewhere."

Last year, a friend set up lunch with Jack Nicklaus and Nicklaus was asked if he might offer a few suggestions on how to play the Masters, with Schwartzel about to compete in his first. Next thing Schwartzel knew, he was getting a tutorial from a Jedi master. "Just thinking it's going to be just a vaguely quick little thing, and he actually took time to take me through all 18 holes, the way he used to think around Augusta and the way he used to play it and wish to play with TaylorMade R11, which flags he used to attack," Schwartzel said.

Schwartzel became the first champion to get four straight birdies on the back nine Sunday, in just his second Masters. He is also the first champion to play the last four holes in four under par since Nicklaus' famous charge in 1986.

Schwartzel began the Masters ranked 29th in the world. Now he's 11th. Chip in for an eagle on No. 3, then get 11 straight pars, then four straight birdies to win the Masters. Relentless would be the word.

But there are so many competitors, Nicklaus Talks About The Masters and Schwartzel said, "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking at the leaderboard. But sometimes I would look at it and not register what I was looking at and I think that sort of helped. There's so many people and so many roars that come up, that's the biggest thing. You've got to breathe. Sometimes you forget to breathe."

Schwartzel holed some clutch putts to finish with four birdies in a row to see off the challenge of the Australian pair and clinch the Green Jacket and his first major championship. After the tournament, Schwartzel moved up to 11th from 29th in the Official World Golf Rankings.
