Els likely done with Masters: 'I won’t miss the place'
Ernie Els likely won’t play in another Masters. Fine by him, he says.
“To be honest with you, I won’t miss the place,” Els told The New York Post on Friday after missing the cut at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. “I had enough of it – especially the last five years I played it terribly.”
Els tied for 22nd at Augusta National in 2015, but since 2014 he also has two missed cuts, a solo-53rd and didn’t even qualify last year. Els’ 23-start Masters career wasn’t overly impressive in his book, either. Though he’s twice finished runner-up, he also has just six top 10s – none of which have come after 2004.
