Playing in the shadow of his nemisis, Tiger Woods, Ernie Els has had many ego shattering second place finishes in the majors during his career. He does have two US Open titles and a British Open so his life has not been without some fantastic highlights. But it could be argued the Big Easy would have had three or four more majors if his career hadn't been in the Tiger Woods era. and the drop off in his play in the last few years has been attributed to 'too much Tiger'.
Now, with Woods on the sidelines, Ernie is showing signs of his brilliance again and is about to capture his second win within a month. With the Masters only 10 days away, lets hope his great play finally leads to a Green Jacket in his wardrobe.
But...wait...Tiger is coming back for the Masters. Will the demons return for Ernie or is he over all of his losses to El Tigre in the past. It should be a great story at Augusta.
