WENTWORTH CRITICISM: ERNIE ELS EATS HUMBLE PIE AND MAKES SUBSTANTIAL DONATION

Ernie Els has wakened up this morning and realised he was totally out of order in the public statements he made yesterday, criticising the Wentworth greenstaff for not watering the greens.

European Tour Chief Executive George O’Grady said:
“Ernie Els asked to see me this morning and apologised for his intemperate language following the conclusion of his round yesterday. He stated that he had already apologised to all the individuals concerned and offered a substantial donation to The European Tour Benevolent Trust, which I accepted.
"The European Tour now consider this matter closed.”
