MUMBAI: Ernie Els heads a high-class entry list for the South African
Airways Open, which is being broadcast, live on Ten Sports beginning
Thursday 14th Dec'06.
Surprisingly the Big Easy has won the event only once before despite
it being played in his home country and he will find it tough to
increase that number against a top quality field.
Fellow countryman Charl Schwartzel is in the form of his life presently
and will be desperate to make amends for missing out in the Alfred
Dunhill event last week where he looked to be on course for victory
before putting his second shot into the water on the 18th hole.
That mistake allowed rookie Alvaro Quiros to snatch victory and
give him entry into this weekend's European Tour Event where he
will be competing against not only Els and Schwartzel but also Lee
Westwood, Angel Cabrerra, Scott Drummond and two time winner Trevor
Immelman.
For the first time the event will be held at the challenging Humewood
Golf Club in Port Elizabeth and as always it is the course that
is the biggest obstacle for any of the players seeking to claim
first prize.
Ten Sports coverage gets underway on Thursday at 17:30 hrs
