| US MASTERS PROFILE |
|
| It would be no surprise to see Ernie Els don the coveted Green Jacket before the end of his illustrious career as the big South African has the ideal game for Augusta National when on song. Long driving, controlled iron play and a silky touch on the greens are the identikit of Els' make-up. His form since the turn of the century here is exceptional but a slight worry is a couple of sub-standard events in the build-up. That said, he can't be written off in the slightest. |
