Els claims his first victory in two years and this after finishing a tied 67th place at the Honda Classic last week.
This shows the class of the man and the handle he has on his practical game and mental abilities.
From SuperSport:
“I found something just before dark and I couldn’t wait to get out here and try it. I kept working on it and basically by Thursday I started getting a bit of an idea,” he said.
He put the idea into practice and on Sunday the 40-year-old South African claimed his first tour win in two years in the WGC-CA Championship at Doral.
Els’s last victory, at the Honda two years ago, ended a four year barren spell for him at US tour events but while he talked up his chances then, this time he is striking a considered tone.
“I said a bit too much last time I won,” Els said after he beat compatriot Charl Schwartzel by four strokes on Sunday.
“I was a bit too cocky. I want to just enjoy this one. This took so much work to win.
“A lot of people have said that the older you get, the tougher it becomes to win and that’s very true.
“I’m 40 years old and it feels like in my twenties I had so many chances and I didn’t quite take them,” he said.
