As they say in golf, every shot makes somebody happy.  Ernie Els final putt at the British Open showed him that all the work he had done in the last six months was paying off.  Adam Scott found out for the first time playing the last four holes of the British Open just how hard it is to close out a major.  Greg Norman, who has had many near misses in majors, talked to and texted Adam Scott.    

Els went to his home in London Sunday night after completing his initial obligations as new champion at the British Open. There to celebrate with him were Johann Rupert, Thomas Aiken and of course Els’s wife, Liezel, and the children. 

He said that he originally was scheduled to go to Canada immediately for this week’s tournament, but asked them if he could come in on Tuesday and pay them back with an outing day later on.

It was arranged.  When you win a major, people understand.     

“Had a good Monday evening with a bit of family, watched a little bit of the replay, not the whole thing.  Just maybe the last hour of it,” he outlined. 

Then it was off to the Canadian Open on Tuesday where he went to an event for the Right to Play Foundation.  He played with sponsors on Wednesday and said he felt refreshed and ready to go again.

Els also discussed the finish at the British Open.



“I had to make birdies coming in,” he explained. “On 16, you know, I left it short from only about six feet.  It was really a tough flag.  17 left it a little bit and on 18 I had a really good look at it.  So felt good about the putt and obviously made a good stroke, and for once it went right in the middle.”

He said he and Ricci Roberts were both “elated” when the last putt dropped although they were not sure if it was enough.
