It has been a frustrating year for Jbe Kruger where he has been tested emotionally and it is for that reason why he ventured deep into the South African bushveld this week hoping to find the thing he thought he’d always have.
“Somewhere along the line I’ve lost my swing,” said Kruger, who is playing in this week’s Vodacom Origins of Golf tournament at Euphoria Golf Estate, which teed off on Wednesday and finishes on Friday.
“My swing has always been good and it’s something I’ve never struggled with. I’ve had slumps before, but this is the first one where my swing is the problem,” he said.
Kruger had an incredible 2012 where he won on the European Tour to add to his two victories on the Sunshine Tour, and he’s been one of the stars on the Asian Tour over the last two years. But he’s struggled to make cuts this year.
“I’ve always known I could rely on my swing, and that if I putt well in a week I’ll be contending for titles. But at the moment it’s like I need to putt well just to make cuts. It’s been an up-and-down year for me.”
