Els Echos Palmer's Sentiments
March 16, 2006
Arnold Palmer indicated he wants the rough as difficult as ever this week to force players to become more accurate off the tee.
"I agree with Arnold," Ernie Els said. "We play the tour, the tour should be on a different level than you guys play on Saturday, Sunday mornings."
He agrees with Palmer's assesment of hitting it long and accurate in order to score.
"If you hit the ball a long way, you should be reasonably accurate, he said. "If you have a 35-40-yards wide fairway we should be good enough to hit it 310 and keep it in the fairway. And that's what we practice for. Not one player on tour has the philosophy of just oging out and hitting it all over the place."
