The entire David Leadbetter Golf Academy family congratulates Ernie Els on his HSBC World Match Play Championship! Ernie Els won his seventh World Match Play championship yesterday by beating Angel Cabrera, 6 and 4, in the final at Wentworth in Virginia Water, England. Els took the lead on the first hole, with Cabrera taking a bogey, and went on to claim his first win of the year. "It is absolutely a dream come true. I would never in my wildest dreams have thought I could win this seven times," said Els, who also won in 1994-96 and 2002-04. "It truly feels unbelievable. The course is obviously my home course. It has been a great week."
After his win, Els, ranked No. 5 in the world, took a private plane to Paris, where South Africa was to play Argentina on Sunday night in a semifinal of the Rugby World Cup. Els, who lives on the Wentworth Estate southwest of London, redesigned the West Course at Wentworth in 2005 when he did not play because of an injury. "Ernie is the king of Wentworth," Cabrera said. "He lives here, he knows the course and it is his own backyard." Read More: Els wins HSBC World Match Play Championship [CallawayGolf.com] Els enhances reputation as King of Wentworth [Rueters UK] |
