Ernie Els has produced one of golf’s more remarkable moments with a shocker of a putt and a brilliant save.
In the second round of the 2013 Wyndham Championship, Ernie Els was just off the green after two and used his putter to push the ball away from the hole, allowing for it to hopefully come on to the green late and then roll down the incline towards the hole – a right-angle triangle pathway for the ball.
