From the “golfers are not athletes” category…
After getting his first PGA Tour win in over three years, Ernie Els withdrew from Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill tournament due to “fatigue.” Man I guess playing a round of golf and winning about a million bucks is really draining. I wish I knew first hand just how tiring that really was so I could empathize with Ernie…
Well, since I read the other day that his five year old is autist, I really acept all the withdrawns that he wants to. I really think he has taken the choice: family then golf
I would think that since he managed to put it altogether and actually win a tournament that he would want to continue while he’s on a roll.
Ernie plays golf all over the world and he has played in Arnie’s tournament 15 straight years.. could be he is fatigued. But it still sounds lame.
