Ernie Els finally triumphed on the US PGA Tour once again this past week. What made the victory even more impressive was that it was a final two ball of two South Africans, namely Ernie and Charl Schwartzel leading the field in the World Golf Championships. There are a few World Golf Championships a year, so the awfully impressive title is not as impressive as it may sounds, but it is a field which basically includes the top 50 in the world, excluding of course Tiger Woods, who will be making his return at the Masters and $1,4 million for first place is great money!

I was so impressed to see Blair Atholl member, Charl Schwartzel, finish second in this field and after his two wins earlier this year in South Africa, which counted as wins on the European Tour he really put in a great show until he got what golfers called “a fried egg” in one of the bunkers and hit it out into another bunker. Charl is going to rocket up the world rankings and we certainly are going to hear a lot more from him.
