The Constellation Furyk & Friends PGA Tour Champions event will begin on Friday at the Timuquana Country Club.

Thirty years ago, Ernie Els won the first of his four major championships when he stunned the world by winning the U.S. Open at Oakmont, at the age of 24. Now at 54, Els said he still retains the desire to compete and win that he did as a youngster from South Africa beating back the best in golf on that brutally hot week in Western Pennsylvania.
