And Ernie Els on Sunday at Doral had flubbed the chip shot and made double on the 72nd hole to lose the tournament by a shot.
So he's gutted.
But Ernie's scheduled to play in this pro-am the next day.
And there he is on the first tee and also on the first tee.
is the guy that I had seen in those that I referenced, those coffee table books.
I'd never seen him in person until now.
And that was Gene Saracen, who was 97 years old, who hit the most famous shot, one of the most famous shots, the first famous shot in major championship history.
The Fort Wood at the 15th hole, the albatross to force a playoff, 36 holes, which he would win over Craig Wood the next day.
There's Sarazin, he's 97 and he looks just as he would in those pages of the coffee table book.
He's got the straw hat and the cane and the coat and tie and the plus fours, but he's not moving.
And I'm not convinced that it's not a lawn ornament.
That is, you can imagine, I'm new, I grew up around the game and like Gene Sarazin was a name from another time, but there he is.
So Nance is introducing everybody, and finally he gets to Ernie Els.
He says, ladies and gentlemen, the great South African two-time US Open champion, Ernie Els.
Now remember, Els blew the tournament, not 24 hours prior.
And Els, classy as could be, says, Jim, thank you, Mr. Venturi.
Thank you.
What a wonderful event this is for such a good cause.
And to be in the company of a great man like Mr. Saracen, what a privilege it is.
Round of applause and Nance says, wow, that's really nice Ernie, thank you.
