My final choice was former winner Ernie Els on the basis the weather forecast was not that great. Yesterday, was perfect scoring conditions so part 1 has not went to plan! Els is on +2 through 13 and struggling to make the cut. Quiros is on -2 after a second round score of 70 I need the wind to blow!!!
