The PGA and European Tours couldn’t have crowned more opposite winners this week, with the legendary Ernie Els triumphing for the 66nd time in his career in Germany, while 44-year old journeyman Ken Duke was finally able to get his first career PGA Tour win at the Travelers Championship. Let’s take a look at the best GIFs of the week.
