HAMILTON - Ernie Els is ready to get right back to work.
The British Open champion says he feeling fresh just days after lifting the Claret Jug for the second time.
Els will tee it up in the RBC Canadian Open on Thursday and expects his stellar play from Royal Lytham & St. Annes to continue at Hamilton Golf and Country Club.
The South African managed just five holes of practice at the course this week.
Els is looking to become just the sixth man in history to capture a U.S. Open, British Open and Canadian Open title during his career.
The 42-year-old edged Adam Scott by one shot to win the British Open last weekend.
