Golf: Els still hurting after tragic PGA loss
A three-time major champion who has never won the Masters, led by a stroke on the 17th tee.
MIAMI:
Ernie Els was still hurting a day after his bogey-bogey finish at the PGA Transitions Championship cost him a victory and a spot in next month’s Masters, he said in a blog on the US PGA website. A three-time major champion who has never won the Masters, led by a stroke on the 17th tee but took a bogey and then missed a short putt on the 18th green to miss out on what became a four-man playoff. “I always play to win,” said Els. “So any time I get the opportunity to do that and don’t get the job done, obviously I’m disappointed and angry with myself.”
