Els gets into focus for "Car-Nasty"

It comes as no surprise that number 4 in the world, Ernie Els is setting his sights on becoming the next winner at Carnoustie this year. The big South African will take his place on the first tee just before lunch time on Thursday along side Robert Karlsson of Sweden and Lucas Glover of the USA. Stepping from 3rd place in Loch Lomond, Els will surely be brimming full of confidence. At Carnoustie In 1999 and just after the birth of his daughter, Ernie was understandably nervous about playing the major and admitted himself that he had many sleepless nights in the run up to the tournament. Now however, Els is showing no signs of pre match nerves and looks relaxed and focused. In a report Els went on record saying "It all depends on the weather, but I'll be working on my short game when I get to The Open and try to get some putts going."
It is no secret that the South African will be Tiger’s biggest threat this year and im sure he will feel he has the form and the steel nerves to make the cut this year.
