Els hopes revamped swing will mean success at Augusta
< Previous page
Els says he does not yet fully trust himself to play a flawless round, let alone four of them. He said this week might be more about convincing himself where he stands than about listening to those who pull for him — and have waited for a long time for his return to the top.
“Hey, it could go either way,” Els said. “When I do those moves and I get it in the right slot, I’m hitting really wonderful golf shots. And to do that around Augusta, knowing with all the hazards and trouble around this place, that’s another story.
“If I can slide a couple of good ones to go, I can take the momentum and move forward from there.”
