| USPGA PROFILE |
|
| Ernie Els will be hoping to improve on a distinctly moderate record in this event by his high standards. The South African has just one top-10 finish on his CV but it will be a big disappointment if he does not get into contention this time around. He could never really recover from a high score in the opening round at the Open Championship but his general form in 2003 has been superb with five wins in the bag already. A Major title would put the icing on the cake. |
