SOUTH Africans Ernie Els and Retief Goosen finished joint fourth in the British PGA Championship on Monday. The even was won by current holder Colin Montgomerie. Pre-tournament favourite Els struggled with his iron play on the final day on Monday and took 68 for a share of fourth place on 277. He was later joined by compatriot Goosen who returned a 71 to lose ground after beginning the day joint leader with Montgomerie.
