Ernie Els called Rich Beem’s hole-in-one
Ernie Els blogs in:
“And it was a fun day out there – you know, beautiful weather, playing nicely, and Rich Beem made an ace on the par-3 14th to win a red sports car. I said to him “that’s a one” when the ball was in mid-flight! It was a great looking shot. The prize car was parked right next to the tee and when the ball went in the hole he jumped on the car so hard I thought he might go through the window or something. Maybe if I’d have tried that I would have gone through the window!
“Now I want to put in a strong performance at this week’s WGC Accenture Matchplay. To be honest, it hasn’t been a great tournament for me in the last five or six years at La Costa, but I think a change in venue might do me good. This year we’re in Tucson at Dove Mountain’s South Course.
“I’m seeded No.2 in the Ben Hogan bracket, playing against Bradley Dredge in Wednesday’s first round match. I’m looking forward to it. As I said earlier, hopefully the change in venue brings a change in fortunes for me in this tournament.”
