Ernie Els, aka “Easy”, er sjóðheitur þessa dagana. Hann er sá fyrsti í 14 ár sem vinnur tvö fyrstu mótin á PGA. Hann setti 43 feta pútt niður á 2. holu í bráðabana til þess að vinna! Er hann í svona geðveikri æfingu eða eru þetta nýju Titleist græjurnar?

Easy does it again in Hawaii.

Titleist's newest brand ambassador, Ernie Els, made it a perfect 2 for 2 to

start the 2003 PGA Tour season, following up his record-setting performance

at last week's Mercedes Championships with a dramatic playoff victory at

the Sony Open. Els, who trusts the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball and a bag

filled with new Titleist equipment, becomes the first player in 14 years to

start a PGA Tour season with consecutive wins. Two weeks. Two wins. Over

$1.8 million in earnings. For most players, it's a great year, for Ernie

it's a great start.

His winning bag includes a Titleist Pro V1x

prototype golf ball, Titleist Titanium 983K prototype driver (9.5 degrees),

Titleist 980 prototype fairway metal (15.0 degrees), Titleist Forged 690MB

irons (3-PW), Scotty Cameron by Titleist Studio Stainless Newport putter,

Titleist Players glove and FootJoy shoes.

Last week, Els posted a record-breaking 31-under

performance at the season-opening Mercedes Championships, setting a new

72-hole PGA Tour record for lowest score in relation to par by three shots.

For the second consecutive week, Els led the tournament field in the key

statistical categories of birdies (21), driving distance (315.8), driving

accuracy (60.7%), and greens in regulation (79.2%). Els, who was the only

player to shoot four consecutive rounds in the 60s at the Mercedes

Championships continued his scorching scoring streak with rounds of

67-66-65-66 at the Sony Open. He is 47-under par through his first eight

rounds of the year.
