South African golf star Ernie Els has last chance
South African golf star Ernie Els takes part in this week's South African Open knowing he has one last chance to hold on to an incredible record that goes back to 1991.
Ernie Els, 37, has won at least one title every year between 1991 to 2005 but he still needs a win this year.
"This year the cupboard is bare and it's driving me crazy," Ernie Els said.
"The win has got to happen in the calendar year so if I want to keep my record intact I have to win this week," Ernie Els, whose last victory was at the Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek in South Africa 12 months ago, added.
"I've been swinging well this year but for some reason - I can't figure out - victory has eluded me," Ernie Els said.
"There are some good omens this week, though, although we're going a long way back - to 1992.
"That was my big breakthrough year as a professional when I won six times, including a tournament they called the Goodyear Classic which was played here at Humewood.
"I beat Retief Goosen by a shot, shooting 67 in the final round, so let's hope history repeats itself," Ernie Els added.
