PEBBLE BEACH, California (AP): This week's U.S. Open is the 18th straight for Ernie Els, the longest consecutive streak of any player in the field, one ahead of Phil Mickelson and two better than Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh.
But other than his second place finish 15 shots back of Woods in 2000 at Pebble Beach, the Open has become just another week for Els. While most players would be thrilled with 10 top-25 finishes in 17 U.S. Open starts entering this week, Els' opinion of his U.S. Open performances is always tempered by the titles he won in 1994 and '97 that instantly raised his own expectations.
