Luke Buttigieg at Coolum, Sportal
Fresh from adding the Australian PGA Championship to his Australian Open win, Greg Chalmers refused to commit to attempting next month to become just the second player to win the Australian Open, PGA and Masters in the same year because of the lure of family.
Based in the United States for the majority of the year, Chalmers covets the opportunities he gets at the end of a long season to return home and spend time with his family in Perth.
And just a few short weeks ago he had no intention of even entering the Masters at Victoria Golf Club in Melbourne because of its late date this year, to be held from December 15-18.
But now Chalmers is wrestling with the difficult decision of whether to try and emulate the 2005 feats of Robert Allenby, who he beat along with Marcus Fraser in a one-hole playoff at Coolum on Sunday.
"I couldn't tell you right now, I'm entered and I don't know," Chalmers said when asked to clarify whether he will play the Masters.
"To be brutally honest I've played 31 or 32 events this year and I'm tired."
"We don't dig coal for a living, it's certainly not something that needs physical strength (playing golf) but it's a decision I don't want to make right now."
Chalmers will now spend a fortnight relaxing in Sydney before either following through with his original plan to head to Perth for Christmas or change course and play the Masters, and he is concerned the break between events would ruin his chances of winning anyway.
"In three weeks' time I'm concerned that I'm just going to sit around and be lazy for two weeks and really not be prepared properly," he added.
"The fact that we've got a couple of weeks until it starts is a worry for me."
"I hadn't planned to play at all until I won the Open."
"Do you go and visit your family in Perth or do you stay and play?"
"It's going to be a tough choice, I'm not sure what to do."
Expecting to make the choice this week, Chalmers also accepted that he will have plenty of people, including those at the PGA of Australia, hoping that he decides to chase his own piece of history.
One man who has already voiced his opinion on the matter is Allenby.
"I am happy for Greg, he is a good friend of mine and we've been mates for a long time, we played amateur golf together," Allenby said.
"Obviously he had a great result at the Australian Open and now at the PGA so I told him now he needs to come down to the Masters and see if you can get the triple crown and be the second person ever to do it."
