I think Els would trade both US Opens for 1 green jacket. They both have had some great golf spurts.

Ernie Els. He's still a threat to win tournaments today. Singh, not so much.

So ya'll don't think Els would trade a couple US Opens for a green jacket? Forget about skin color, look at their tournament records fro crying out loud. Singh is better.

this has nothing to do with skin color and don't try to take the thread that way

Vijay has one of the best swings in golf history, but I would take Els in this comparison.

It's a nice fluid swing but have you ever seen his hands at impact? Not something for everybody.

Els is a much better human being. Vijay got some serious issues.


Lots and lots of stories out there similar to this one...
