He's been threatening it for a while, and big Ernie Els finally had the chance to show just how bad his mental game is these days down the 18th of the Alfred Dunhill.
Led by 4 with 4 to play, and by two at the last, just needing to take a bogey 6 to win. Drive is good, 2nd shot is good, meaning just a chip onto the green and 3 putt will do the trick. Cue hacking the easy iron shot into the water, doing exactly the same again, before missing a 5 footer to force a playoff, finishing with a triple bogey 8 to tie for 2nd place.
He's been blowing good rounds and good positions for months now - today was the
pinnacle after reaching 1.01 on
Betfair...just goes to show how mental a game golf is!
