Ernie Els
 [A 66 at Royal Lytham and St. Annes in the 1996 British Open convinced Woods he was ready, and Els was the first person he told. (The secret was kept for a month, until Tiger had collected his third Amateur title.) Ernie tied for second at Lytham, Woods for 22nd (low amateur), so their presence was required at Tom Lehman's crowning. Afterward, in the clubhouse bar, they had a beer.] I don't have to tell you, ... you're more than good enough to be playing out here. |
| [Ernie Els wants metal detectors used to prevent spectators carrying mobile phones and cameras onto the course. The problem is rife in new golfing destinations such as China, where the European Tour will spend five weeks this year. Els would like a strict line taken at all events, although the world No. 3 admits the cost could be too much for smaller tournaments.] I'm sure if you asked the players the majority would say yes, ... It would be great, but it will take a lot of manpower and money. |
| [In a way, Arnold Palmer discov-ered Els, and in another way, Ernie found the other four members of the Big Five. Playing in his first American major, the 1992 PGA Championship, Els drew Palmer for the only two rounds either of them played.] He was 62, ... I remember the handshake he gave me on the first tee. It was a big deal for me, a little bit too big. I never saw a gallery like that. It was my introduction to everything. I don't know why they put me with Arnold Palmer. I guess I would have had a better chance if I'd played with Greg Kraft. But I'm glad they did. |
| [Like Ernie, Liezl looks forward to Decembers at home. But she is wise enough to make a home of wherever they are, and presumes England will always represent that to her children. During a rain delay once at the Masters, Ernie took down a book on Ben Hogan and was especially struck by the portrait of Ben's wife, Valerie.] What a wife, Valerie Hogan, ... She was a lady, a total lady. A professional golfer needs a great wife, because the rest of the world doesn't care. |
| [The 35-year-old South African, whose competitive year came to an end after he twisted his knee on a family sailing holiday in July, has been contracted to work for BBC television.] Being on the sidelines is really not my idea of fun, but that's the way it is, ... It's going to be a tough one to sit out. This is one of my favourite tournaments. I'm actually planning on doing a little bit of commentary for the BBC at the start of the tournament, which is a new experience. I've not done that before and hopefully it works out. I'll let the viewers be the judge of that. |
| [The ending is happy, as Els' endings tend to be.] The last six or seven years now, ... we have become best friends. At first Dirk got into the transport business, like my dad. He completely modernized Dad's operation. Dirk's got a great mind. He's a guy who wants to go forward in life. But I could tell he didn't really love the transport business. Come with me,' I said, and he did. Now we're together, working in golf course design, and having so much fun. We're getting ready to do something with Jack Nicklaus. Dirk has a gift for it, a real talent. He's great. |
| [What else is there for Els to do? He finally caught Tiger, but he's still not No. 1. That must seem weird to him, too. So now he has set his sights on the career Grand Slam (he already has won the U.S. and British Opens) and Vijay Singh.] I think the game is on, ... Vijay has won eight times this year; I've won four. So it's interesting. |
| All in all, it was a good day's work and my game plan really worked out well, |
| All in all, it's very tough. |
| All in all, you know, it's very tough. Where it used to be kind of the most fun of all the majors, it's becoming the hardest one now. So it's going to take a bit of the excitement away, definitely. |
| Am I surprised? Not really. The mainstream media forgets quickly from the previous week to the next week. That's how the whole world has gone. They keep saying, 'There's nobody challenging Tiger.' This group of players has been there for 25 straight majors. |
| and He gave me something back. He gave me Ernie. |
| Anyone who's had an injury understands that. But to be honest with you, I'm a little further down the road to recovery than I thought I'd be at this stage. |
| As a 15-year-old, you think a 46-year-old is too old to win. It kind of was like watching an old boxer like Muhammad Ali fighting Larry Holmes and you hope he's going to beat the guy, but you think he's going to get the (stuffing) beat out of him. You're thinking, 'I hope he wins, but I don't think he's going to do it.' And then he came out with the goods. It was unbelievable. |
| As a result, I'm going to have to take a break on the recommendation of my medical advisers, |
