Ernie on Tiger
It was almost 10 years ago, but Ernie Els once held the world's No. 1 ranking. Tiger might not be here, but that doesn't mean he's not talked about. Els was asked about playing against Tiger and if he's playing his best, can anybody beat him.
``That's the million dollar question, isn't it?'' Els said. ``I think, let's say Tiger played last week, and i heard the conditions were very tough at Pebble Beach...20-under par around those four golf coursees, the way Phil played, that's pretty amazing golf. That would have been a good (thing). If Tiger was in the field and Phil played that way, would Tiger have beaten him. Who knows? Probably. But who knows?''
He went on to talk about his own goals in reaching the Ernie Slam.
``I want to win at a higher level than I've played in the past and I want to win golf tournaments. I want to try to win majors. I want to complete my own Grand Slam. That's what I want to do.''
Els needs to win the Masters and PGA Championship to accomplish that.
Els is playing his first PGA Tour event of the year.
