Open Champion Ernie Els said his nine year old autistic son Ben was in his thoughts as he carved out his fourth Major victory at Royal Lytham and St Annes.
The 42 year old South African holed a 12-foot putt for birdie at the last for a three under par 67, which left him one shot clear of Australian Adam Scott.
I made a lot of putts today with Ben in mind because I know Ben's watching,” said Els, who flew back to his family in London in a helicopter on Sunday evening. -----
