You can't have a conversation about smooth golf swings without mentioning 'Big Easy' Ernie Els.
Els just won his first Major and at 54 he still has an amazing swing.
He has almost won the Major several times but says the competition is tough.
“I mean, these guys are good,” Els said at the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship in May, where he shared the lead going into Sunday.
“I'm not firing on all my cylinders. I've been missing a couple – be it driving or laying or something, you know?”
The veteran takes his place on the field of the Open Championship at Royal Troon as the former champion after his big win in Ohio.
The oldest winner of the Open Championship is still Tom Morris Sr. (or Old Tom Morris) who was 46 years and 102 days old when he won in 1867. Rather surprisingly, his son, Tom Morris Jr, is the youngest winner of the competition. , was 17 years and 156 days old when he won the 1868 Open Championship.
