Yes, Adam Scott choked like a stuck pig, but let's credit Ernie for shooting a freaking 32 on the back nine. Els has been one of the most consistently classy guys in ALL of sports for twenty years. I'm thrilled for him.

Sidenote on Els: Yesterday was his 65th win worldwide. I think this fourth major (2 US Opens and 2 British Opens) cements his legacy as the second best golfer of his generation (after Tiger). Sorry, Phil.

Now Mickelson's a nice guy, too. But he never could win on a links course. Els is a more complete golfer.


Re Scott: He's a nice kid, but I hope he never wins a major while that asshole Stevie Williams is on his bag.


I couldn't have said it better....on all points. My swing mantra is ...I am Ernie (backswing) ELS (downswing). Works every time. Gives me the right tempo.
