PGA Championship in Kiawah, SC

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) –Ernie Els returns to Kiawah Island for the PGA Championship as a major champion, the same status he carried the last time he was there. He was the U.S. Open winner in 1997, having outlasted Colin Montgomerie and Tom Lehman at Congressional for his second major at age 27. He came to Kiawah Island that fall to represent South Africa in the World Cup. The rest week was a blur. He vaguely remembers the Ocean Course, only that it was hard.
