    Ernie has always been one of my favourites, so it’s nice to watch him come out on top in the US Open

    Bittersweet hearing the wonderful voice of Dave Marr, who would die of cancer just four months later. Each of the best golf analysts had a different style that could be appreciated and Marr was among those greats.

    Ernie Els was probably the golfer hurt the most by Tiger Woods’ existence. He could’ve won another 2-3 majors if not for Tiger.

      Surprisingly, Ernie Els and Chris Dimarco have the most runner ups to Tiger in a major with 2. Shaun Micheel would have 2 PGA Championships if not for Tiger.

      Let's not forget Phil Mickelson in that. I'm not sure Ernie ever really recovered after Phil holed that putt on the last green to win the 2004 Masters, because that appeared to be the year Ernie was going to win at Augusta, which would have been his fourth major championship. He did win the 2012 Open Championship, but that was more a product of Adam Scott's collapse on the final four holes, while Mickelson would go on to win six major championships (3 Masters, 2 PGA Championships, and the 2013 Open Championship).

      @@cjs83172 Good points, it’s a disservice to a major winner when the focus is on another player’s collapse. No titles come with an asterisk (Unless it’s shortened to 54 holes)

      The occasional silence and edits, while most unfortunate, are because of background music which the USGA may not have received a clearance for. Pity that some extra time could not have been spent providing text captioning in the silent spots.

    the Faldo-Woods pair was interesting. Watching Els play is like watching paint dry on a cold day. Arguably the least charismatic player in the entire Golf Hall of Fame.
