Els takes British Open 2012

Ernie Els wins the British Open 10 years and a day from his last win of this tournament.

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.
