I think they should blow it up.-Ernie Els, on the 17th at TPC Sawgrass
ERNIE ELS HAD JUST birdied the 16th hole at TPC Sawgrass and stood at two under in his opening round at The Players Championship. Then he made a mess of Pete Dyes revenge, the par-3 17th hole.
His wedge landed about seven yards short of the island green. His third shot narrowly escaped the water. Three putts later and the agony was over. Put him down for a triple-bogey 6.
The Big Easy was the Big Steam.
I think they should blow it up, Els was quoted as saying. Everything you worked for in 4 1/2 hours, in one shot it's all gone.
Ernie rebounded with a birdie on 18, one of the toughest finishing holes on the PGA Tour, and carded a respectable 72. He is even in todays second round and should make the cut.
