Els: Without golf I’d sell hot dogs

Four-time Major winner Ernie Els returns to Muirfield next week to defend his British Open title confessing if it were not for golf, he’d be selling hot dogs on a South African beach.

The 43-year-old South African is looking to become the first player since Nick Faldo in 1992 to win back-to-back championships at Muirfield.

And while Els has also captured 65 other victories around the world since turning pro in 1989, he heads to the East Lothian course speaking of the longevity golf has presented him.
