Ernie Els was born in Johannesburg in 1970. He made his breakthrough on the world tour at the age of 24 by winning the 1994 US Open at Oakmont, the third youngest player since the War to do so. He has since added a second US Open title to his collection and most experts predict a clean sweep of the majors by Els in the years to come.
