Like Ernie, Liezl looks forward to Decembers at home. But she is wise enough to make a home of wherever they are, and presumes England will always represent that to her children. During a rain delay once at the Masters, Ernie took down a book on Ben Hogan and was especially struck by the portrait of Ben's wife, Valerie. What a wife, Valerie Hogan, ...
