Els No Longer Intimidated By Woods

March 17, 2005

Peter Dixon writes that Ernie Els no longer feels intimidated by Tiger Woods and is ready to take his turn at being the World’s #1. That could come as early as this Sunday, at the close of Palmer’s Bay Hill Invitational. There are enough points available at that tournament that any of the top three could end up in the first position.

One thing I found interesting in the column was the Tiger mystique was shattered when Vijay Singh was able to sieze—however briefly—the top spot. If that’s the case, then every golfer on tour owes Vijay a big thank-you for his fanatical dediction to perfection.
