Els drops one short of record
Ernie Els fell just one shot short of a major championship record which has stood for 19 years at the Open today.
The 28 which Manchester professional Denis Durnian produced on Birkdale’s front nine in 1983 has been matched only by American Brad Faxon at the 1995 US PGA since.
