Els to play in Singapore

The South African's management company has confirmed that Els will instead be playing in the Barclays Singapore Open, also now a European Tour event.

Els qualified for the 16-man Match Play, now under Volvo's sponsorship after not being staged last year, as the 2007 champion at Wentworth.

His place will go to the next highest-placed player on the European money list once further spots in the tournament have been decided on October 5.

Paul Casey, Retief Goosen, Camilo Villegas and Australians Robert Allenby and Scott Strange are the five confirmed competitors so far. Tiger Woods also qualifies, but is not expected to play.

Sweet. He's finally playing well after he's with Butch Harmon.

Anyway, he always play pretty well in Singapore.

How can we get tickets for the Open?

Not meant to hike this thread...but I have been a big fan of Ernie since I almost started golf...and that is way before I actually started golf......I even name my 9 iron after him.....
Just 2cents...Butch is having a bad year ...Adam not doing well, Micky..not playing much, Ernie..bo liao....

Adam has left Butch. That boy is lost.....

Most of my early swing thoughts and tips are from EE. He has a very simple swing and more of a feel player rather than boggered down by mechanics.

If nobody wants Butch, I'll have him train me... heaven knows I need it.

Like DS, I too have been a fan of EE for a long while. I love his swing. I totally relate to his moniker, the Big Easy, and I think he is a stellar golfer.
