Ernie Els shot a 2-under 68 in his final round of the 2012 British Open on Sunday to overtake a crumbling Adam Scott to win his second Claret jug of his storied career. Scott, who shot a debilitating 75 on Sunday, watched his lead dissipate and finally conceded to Els at the end of the round.
Scott wasn't the only one who struggled Sunday. Tiger Woods shot a +3, Brandt Snedeker shot a +4 and Graeme McDowell shot a +5 on Sunday, all losing their chance to win the third major title of the year.
