Ernie Els won the British Open championship today...i know its sports related but the fact he has a son with Autism and he is a supporter of a golf tournament with his name attached to benefit Autism, makes his victory transcend sports for OUR world. Congrats to him and all he has to go through in his private life!

I was wondering if he would win another major at some point. He's been around as long as I can remember.

I was watching it on the BBC, hoping for a play-off.

Scott collapsed on the back nine!

It's gonna be tough for him. Congrats to Ernie though.
