standings, along with opening rounds of 70 65 and 71 for a total of eight
under par 276 for the tournament. Els shared 16th on the leaderboard, seven shots behind American, Webb Simpson, who won in a playoff.
After making a good sand save on the 17th hole, Els needed to birdie the 18 to ensure he dipped into the top 70.

“Now I know my game is just around the corner so hopefully I can get my game
going.”

“On 17 I hit it in the bunker and left myself a little slider (for par) and I think it (his putting stroke) looked a little more steady than it has been.
Knowing he needed to make the final putt on 18 made for a fitting climax.
“That one was a real knee-knocker, because just before I got to the green I saw the board and I was 71st and I knew I had to get it up and down so it was good to make that one obviously.
