Former champion Ernie Els wants to put a horrendous 16 months behind him with a good performance at The Open beginning today. The South African, victor at Muirfield in 2002 and also a double US Open winner, is in a career slump having missed the cut in the last two majors and not recorded a first-place finish since March 2008. He has slipped from World No 1 to 24th in the rankings and is not even considered one of the contenders for the 138th Open Championship.
"It didn't go well in the other majors but I'm looking forward to this one. My game is coming around nicely and I feel like I have a chance to win this week. I definitely feel like I have the drive and the desire to get back to winning more golf tournaments," he said.
