Els Fires Another 65

Ernie Els looks like a new player this week making 6 birdies against no bogeys for his second consecutive 65.

My buddy Greer pointed out that Ernie missing the cut at The Masters, while forcing him to acknowledge that he needed to redouble his efforts, also probably pissed him off...a lot. After all, Sandy Lyle and Fuzzy Zoeller made the cut and Ernie didn't. Ernie always comes across as such a nice guy, perhaps, so suggests Greer, missing the cut forced him to say to himself "Stop playing like an asshole", and that shift in mindset (as much as anything technical with his swing) has led to this week's results.
