Category: Homefront | Comments Off

South Africa’s Ernie Els won The 2012 Open Championship with an overall score of 7 under par. Great job Ernie. Perseverance pays off. The four bogies on the back nine for Adam Scott put Ernie Els into contention. Adams’ missed putt on 18 sealed Ernie El’s victory and avoided a playoff.

Bail set at $1 million. Zimmerman’s fundraising may have generated enough to cover his $100k deposit, or more.
