Golf: Els apologies for rant
Els apologised for his foul-mouthed criticism of the watering of the course at Wentworth.
WENTWORTH:
Ernie Els apologised for his foul-mouthed criticism of the watering of the course at Wentworth during the PGA Championship. South African Els, who has been involved in the redesign of the lay-out of the West Course, launched a fierce attack on staff here following his third round on Saturday. But the three-time major winner has back-tracked and made a donation to the European Tour charity. “Els asked to see me this morning and apologised for his intemperate language following the conclusion of his round yesterday,” said George O’Grady, chief executive of the European Tour, in a statement. “He stated that he had already apologised to the individuals concerned and offered a substantial donation to the European Tour Benevolent Trust, which I accepted. The European Tour now considers this matter closed.”
