Alistair Tait of Golfweek had a chance to talk to Ernie Els at the BMW PGA Championship about the recent swing changes that have been implemented under the guidance of Butch Harmon. Els said:
We’ve got some tools now. It’s just little white sticks that we put on the ground and check my body alignment, my ball to target alignment. I’ve got a little thing you strap onto your right arm to shorten the backswing a little bit with a full shoulder turn.
It still feels a little uncomfortable now and again, but I’m a lot better than I have been.
We'll have a much better idea of how well the swing is holding up when the Big Easy heads over to Torrey Pines for the U.S. Open.
