His final put on 18 was the kind television viewers sit on the edge of their seat for.
Adam Scott,
initially taking the lead by a significant margin, fell victim to 4 bogies in a
row. His final bogie on the 18th determined the one stroke lead that
dubbed Els the official champion.
During his
acceptance speech, Els thanked family and supporters, and made a comment about
blowing off an event in Canada to see his family. One can only wait to see what
type of media reaction follows.
