I'm telling you, my heart was beating in my throat over the last four holes.
"Thomas Edward Aiken" is a South African professional golfer who plays on the European Tour and Sunshine Tour.
Following a successful amateur career, which included being named the South African Amateur of the Year in 2001, Aiken turned professional at the start of 2002. In 2004, he won three times on the Sunshine Tour's Winter Swing. The following year, he topped the money list on the Winter Swing with two further victories.
In 2007, Aiken competed on the Nationwide Tour, but made only three cuts, with a best finish of tied 13th in the Price Cutter Charity Championship. He gained his European Tour card for 2008 through the qualifying school, and went on to finish 131st in the money list, with a best of tied 13th in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, his only finish inside the top-30.
The 2009 season saw Aiken register his maiden top-10 finish on the European Tour, with a tied 4th in the Alfred Dunhill Championship, having led going into the final day after a course record 61 in the third round. That, along with several other top-10 finishes, including a win in the Platinum Classic, meant Aiken ended the 2008 Sunshine Tour in third place on the Order of Merit.

It's pretty tough out there, and if you miss the fairways or the greens, you are dead. But I am enjoying the tournament. It's also nice to get the Lost City out of the way so you can concentrate on the three days ahead at the Gary Player.
My drive went left of the fairway and I had a bad lie. I tried to play for the front left of the green but the ball came out like a butterfly with sore feet.
I had a triple and a double and still managed to shoot 70. Not bad. It's not easy to get your mind off a triple bogey start, but I came back well.
