Ernie Els - Final Round in full | The Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes 2012

Final round coverage from the 2012 Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes. Ernie Els never led the 141st Open until the moment he won it. At a course where the South African felt he had let victories slip away in both 1996 and 2001, he closed superbly with a 68 that included an inward half of only 32 strokes.

At the 18th he received a grand ovation as was fitting a former Champion and then an even bigger one when he rolled in a 15-footer for his fourth birdie since the turn.
