Ernie Els has scraped into the 64-man field for next week’s WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona – thanks to Phil Mickelson taking the week off.
Els took last week off and dropped from 62nd to 65th in the rankings, but Mickelson has decided not to play in an event where he has reached the quarter-finals only once in 11 appearances.
