What's eating Ernie Els?

There’s been a flurry of news stories lately about the yips.

Futzing around

Ernie Els was the latest victim, and the web is alive with video of the great golfer futzing around,  missing the hole in a series of simple putts, carding the worst hole in the history of the Masters tournament. Ernie mumbled something about "snakes in the head" and "heebie-jeebies". Els isn’t alone, though; other yipped champions include historic greats Ben Hogan and Sam Snead, Bernhard Langer and, some suggest, even Tiger Woods.
