Stock UpErnie Els
The smooth-swinging Els won his fifth South African Open title Sunday by one stroke over Retief Goosen. His first win in this tournament came 18 years ago, which speaks of his longevity in the game. Despite opening with back-to-back 65s, Els' best round might have been his third. After opening with three bogeys through his first five holes, he finished with seven birdies and maintained his lead over Goosen entering Sunday.
Player of the Year Honors
The Golf Writers Association of America announced its Players of the Year on Friday. The Male Player of the Year went to Graeme McDowell over Jim Furyk and Martin Kaymer in the award's closest race. Bernhard Langer took home the senior version after winning back-to-back majors and five Champions Tour events in 2010. Yani Tseng, who won two LPGA majors this year, was named Female Player of the Year with 69 percent of the vote. All three players are first-time winners and will be honored at Augusta next April.
