Ernie Els Seals Back-to-Back Champions Tour Wins as Stricker Falters in Playoff

Posted : 10 June 2024

Ernie Els secured his second consecutive victory on the Champions Tour after Steve Stricker missed a crucial putt on the first playoff hole at the American Family Insurance Championship in Madison, Wisconsin, on Sunday. Despite the event being played in Stricker's hometown and meant to be his celebration, it was Els who claimed the title, marking his fifth win on the PGA Tour Champions.

 

Els, a four-time major champion, expressed his shock and sympathy for Stricker after the playoff win, acknowledging the mixed emotions surrounding the victory. Winning back-to-back titles, including his recent victory at the Principal Charity Classic, left Els delighted but also empathetic toward his fellow competitor.

 

Stricker, who was aiming for a successful defense of his title, expressed disappointment despite playing well throughout the tournament. Despite his personal ties to Madison and a strong track record at the event, Stricker felt regret for letting the victory slip away but acknowledged Els' strong play down the stretch.

 

Both Els and Stricker finished the day tied for the lead, each shooting a 3-under 69 to reach 12-under 276 for the tournament. Australian golfer Cameron Percy secured third place with a closing round of 67, while Stephen Ames tied for fourth to take the lead in the season-long Charles Schwab Cup standings.
