Ernie Els never won the Masters despite having one of the sweetest, most natural swings in golf. But he's getting his revenge on Augusta, on Tiger Woods (who thwarted him so many times in his prime), on Phil Mickelson (who memorably crushed his green jacket visions in 2004) and the entire world of golf. For Els has helped unleash a slew of no-name South Africans on the game who keep grabbing the most important trophies in golf.
Charl Schwartzel was just the latest, coming from nowhere to pull off one of the great finishes in Masters' history on Sunday: birdie, birdie, birdie, birdie ... Butler Cabin celebration. Schwartzel stunned Adam Scott (who really should have won trophies, anything, long before now), Jason Day, Geoff Ogilvy and yes, Tiger too. And you can bet that no one is having a bigger laugh about the whole thing than Els.The 41-year-old Els has said that the 26-year-old Schwartzel is "like a little brother" to him. Well, there little brother was Sunday winning the battle that big bro never could.also see: trophies, custom pins and corporate awards
