Here's How Incredible Trevor Immelman Is Playing at the Scottish Open

Trevor Immelman, the former Masters champion is in contention at the Scottish Open this week, which is something truly remarkable. Immelman shot 68 on Thursday followed by a 64 on Friday. He hasn't played this good since his Masters win in 2008. Here are some crazy stats that show just how good Trevor Immelman is playing.

- First, Immelman only plays a couple events every year and mainly plays on the European Tour other than the Masters. After being unable to regain his PGA Tour Card, Immelman was hired by CBS as an on course analyst, which is mainly what he does now.

- Immelman hasn't had a top 25 finish since 2014 at the Farmers Insurance. Immelman dry spell has been going on for a while as you can tell by that stat. The South African made just 1 of 14 cuts in 2017. In 2016 he made 3 of 18 cuts, 2015 he made 3 of 19 cuts.

- This is likely his last year playing golf on any tour. This is his last year of status on the European Tour unless he can get into the top 110 on the Race to Dubai. Immelman currently ranks along way away from that at 178.

- He can qualify for The Open if he finishes in the top 10. The Open will take the top three players from the Scottish Open who are not yet qualified for The Open, but to be eligible, you must finish in the Top 10. Immelman hasn't played in a major besides The Masters (lifetime exmemption) since 2012. He also hasn't made the cut at The Masters since 2012. Either way Immelman will be at Carnoustie as he is scheduled to call The Open as a TV analyst on Golf Channel.

- His 64 on Friday was the lowest round of golf he has shot since the 2012 CIMB Classic. He currently ranks 1380 in the world.

- Immelman enters the final round having not won a tournament on the one of the main tours since his 2008 Masters win. After his 68 on Saturday, Immelman stands just two shots back of the leaders. He is just one shot out of the final Open quialifying spot currently held Aaron Rai.
