Before the injury, I had been playing professional golf for the best part of 16 years without any really long breaks. The last time I had a long break was in 2001 when I was out for five or six weeks with a back injury.
More Quotes from Ernie Els:
Basically, it takes the best player who's on form to win this tournament. The conditions here, maybe, make more difference than at a lot of places. When it gets a little firmer, the second shots become probably the toughest on Tour because the greens are very small and there's only certain areas where you can go with your second shots. In that regard, it doesn't matter longer or shorter hitter. Accuracy is at a premium.Ernie Els
It's a combination of things at this time. Al in all, it has a feel of the U.S. Open, except the grass isn't high, and if we give it time we'll probably get that, too.

It's not the easiest thing in the world. Your mind can wander but you can't be afraid. It's a good test of character.
Ernie Els
That was exciting stuff. They can show that on The Golf Channel every day instead of all that other stuff they show.
