Miracles do happen - but how the hell did this one come about? The leader at one stage was 5 ahead of the field - and then over the last 4 holes collapsed/ I think his nerves got the better of him - poor guy.

Adam Scot's swing never deserted him. The course was so hard.....look at what happened to Tiger and McDowell. Ernie played his best ever golf round in my view. He was the only guy risking driver on a lot of holes. At least 4 putts touched the cup and missed. Great tee to green golf. What a nice thing for a great guy.

Well played Ernie.
Still reckon he is one of the nicest gentlemen playing golf today!
He is the humblest alchoholic i know!

Highly unlikely Carpet. the only South African Cyclist that has a chance in ending in the Top 15 is Robbie Hunter, and he fell out early.
Tour de France ended as:
Brittain, Brittain, Italian, German, (van Gaerden)I think he is American not sure though, Spaniard, Australian.
South Africa we are not that beeeg on the Cycling ...
