I\u2019ve had slumps before, but this is the first one where my swing is the problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kruger had an incredible 2012 where he won on the <a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/van-der-walt-emerges-from-crowded-tshwane-leaderboard\/\" target=\"_blank\">European Tour<\/a> to add to his two victories on the <a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bremner-close-to-second-victory-in-vodacom-origins\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sunshine Tour<\/a>, and he\u2019s been one of the stars on the <a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/els-to-partake-in-macau-open\/\" target=\"_blank\">Asian Tour<\/a> over the last two years. But he\u2019s struggled to make cuts this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always known I could rely on my swing, and that if I putt well in a week I\u2019ll be contending for titles. But at the moment it\u2019s like I need to putt well just to make cuts. It\u2019s been an up-and-down year for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/curlewis-plans-success-at-selborne\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/759f3_179602732_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/curlewis-plans-success-at-selborne\/\" target=\"_blank\">Curlewis plans success at Selborne<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bremner-hits-all-the-good-shots-at-vodacom-origins\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/759f3_180344434_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bremner-hits-all-the-good-shots-at-vodacom-origins\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bremner hits all the good shots at Vodacom Origins<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/local-golfers-on-par-with-cutting-edge-style\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/759f3_191053409_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/local-golfers-on-par-with-cutting-edge-style\/\" target=\"_blank\">Local golfers on par with cutting-edge style<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/ced31_zemified_h.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jbe Kruger is back on the Sunshine Tour in this week\u2019s Vodacom Origins of Golf at Euphoria Golf Estate in a bid to revive his game.
