Ernie Els Quite Quotations

I did see the changes, obviously, and they are quite major.

I've played with him quite a few times the last couple of years. It seems like he's gone up a level this year. It seems like he's really comfortable with his swing and his game. It seems like he's there every week. He's almost a golfing machine, so to speak. He never gets tired of the game. I think he's definitely going to be very tough to beat this weekend.

It was unbelievable, ... That's probably the loudest I've ever heard it. It was quite loud in '98 when I played with Jack, especially when he made a few birdies on the front nine. It was exciting. If you were watching on television, it must have been good. Kirk made that 1 in front of us on 16 -- I never saw the shot but I heard that roar, and then K.J. on 11, that ball never left the flag. It was great golf.

I've been around for quite while and experience has helped me having big leads,

It was quite a ride there at the end,

I made some mistakes today, especially with my short game. I missed quite a few putts out there, but all in all I'm happy with it,

I'm physically quite fit at the moment, and the leg was fine. The game wasn't quite there.

I haven't played with Tiger, or in that kind of a field, for a while. And to play that well and almost win was quite exciting. I'm looking forward to the year.

The heat kind of took its toll at the end. It was quite muggy and I had a few more chances on the back nine.
