Ernie Els won the Arnold Palmer Invitational for his second consecutive victory of the Florida Swing.  Els was able to hang on with two big par putts in a Monday finish at Bay Hill. His 8-foot par putt on the final hole left him at 1-under for the final round and an 11-under total.  Edoardo Molinari and Kevin Na finished two shots back.

Els had made a double bogey and a bogey on Sunday when the final round was halted because of rain, then saved par with a 6-foot putt on the 15th hole when play resumed. He then got up-and-down from a bunker on the 17th with another 6-foot par save. 

Ernie didn't look comfortable this morning with errant drives and poor iron play...the putter is what kept him in the game.  But even with the victory, if Ernie’s final nine holes at Bay Hill is any indication of his play at Augusta…I DON'T think he’ll have a chance for a Masters green jacket.
