If you've been watching the CIMB Classic and the name Jbe Kruger is new to you, higher get used to it. He's another of those younger players coming out of South Africa with a whole lot of sport.
I had some problem finding Jbe's player web page on the European Tour website online, notwithstanding him being a member. Fortunately I was able to find a operating link at Jbe's Wikipedia web page, so you can get to his ET web page by way of clicking this hyperlink.
Jbe (that's short for James Barry and he seems to be ok with announcing it just like the initials J.B., despite the unusual spelling) fascinates me because he is one of these little man. He's best 5'five" tall and round a hundred thirty lbs, yet he smacks the ball around 290 yards. (Yeah, you examine that proper -- 293.35 yards this season, to be actual.) He's were given two wins at the Sunshine Tour and he got his first ET win in advance this season.
Here's a short piece Golfing World did on Jbe (mostly funny questions) that gives you an idea what his personality is like:
And in case you want to know how true his nerves are, he performed his 2nd spherical with Tiger Woods -- he hadn't even met him until a couple of minutes earlier than tee time -- and at the time I'm writing this, the two have finished 11 holes. Tiger is -3 for the day, sitting at -eight ordinary, even as Jbe is -6 for the day and has the solo lead at -11.
Better get used to the name, folks. Jbe Kruger desires to increase a few consistency, but he is clearly were given the sport... And at best 26, he's got time to make that call much higher recognised.
