2012 British Open: Ernie Els Wins While Adam Scott Collapses

British Open 2012: Ernie Els Earns Fourth Major Championship In Dramatic Fashion

The 2012 British Open concluded Sunday, and the winner wasn't who many expected, but it was one we've all heard of before. Ernie Els carded a 68 2-under par, at Royal Lytham at St. Annes to edge 54-hole leader Adam Scott by one stroke and collect his fourth major championship of his career.

The South African made a dramatic birdie putt on his final hole, and then waited as Scott made bogey on his final four holes to let his seemingly insurmountable lead slip away.

Scott, who finished with a final round score of 75 (5-over par), had a chance to force a three-hole playoff but his championship-tying putt -- which was setup by a poor tee shot that found a fairway bunker -- just slid off the edge of the cup.

Els' comeback was highlighted by playing the final nine holes at 4-under par. Els was the only player in the top six to finish the day at 3-over par or better.

Overall, Els finished at 7-under par while Scott (-6) finished ahead of Tiger Woods (-3), Brandt Snedeker (-3), Luke Donald (-2) and Graeme McDowell (-2), respectively.

British Open Odds: Tiger Woods Favorite To Win Tournament

Tiger Woods, despite not winning a major championship in four years and being up and down recently, is definitely the odds-on favorite to win the British Open which begins on Thursday.

It's safe to say that fans will be tuning in to see what Tiger does, and if he fails it will be an utter disappointment. For Tiger, a three-time British Open champion, it is his tournament for the taking since he's made it clear that even though he's not the same player he was four years ago, he's still better than most of the field.

Vegasinsider.com has faith in Woods, at least, giving him 8-to-1 odds to win his fourth British Open this weekend. Local favorite Rory McIlroy is also picked to have a good chance to win, with 10-to-1 odds. Other European players, such as Lee Westwood (12-to-1), Luke Donald (15-to-1), and Padraig Harrington (15-to-1) rounded out the top five.

2012 British Open: Jim Furyk Looking To Rebound From U.S. Open

West Chester native Jim Furyk is looking to rebound at the 2012 British Open from his collapse in the U.S. Open. Furyk, the 2003 U.S. Open champ, had a one stroke lead on the final day at the Olympic Club in San Francisco before he scored bogey on three of the final six holes.

After a practice round at Royal Lytham & St. Annes on Tuesday, Furyk said ''I have always had a big drive to succeed and play well and work hard. If I play poorly, it makes me mad and makes me want to do better next time. If I play well and come so close, it's disappointing but I'll work hard either way. At the end of my career, I'm not going to look back and have any regrets.''

Furyk also said the damp conditions at the British Open won't get to him. ''It doesn't matter to me, I've done low in both (good and bad conditions). I've shot 25 and 28 under to win golf tournaments and I've gone around in even par to win golf tournaments. You just adjust to the conditions." (via Fox Sports)
