Obviously you would like to say it could have been better but I played nicely. I made a silly mistake on the third hole which was a short par four. I played with a nice group of guys who played good as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess we all fed off each other. Scott Hend really started it off when he birdied three in a roll early in the round. Hopefully I can get it going tomorrow as well,\u201d said Els.<\/p>\n<p>The world number 24 has not enjoyed the best results since winning the 2012 Open Championship but he is starting to turn the corner after finishing tied 14th at the Chiangmai Golf Classic on the Asian Tour in March.<\/p>\n<p>Following his Chiangmai stint, Els finished tied 13th at the Masters Tournament and took a share of 15th place on the PGA Tour on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m starting to feel more comfortable with my game. The last time I played in Chiangmai, I wasn\u2019t too comfortable with my game. I played okay at the Masters Tournament and had a nice week at New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel that things are starting to come around so I got to thank the Asian Tour for getting my game back in shape. I like playing out here in Asia and the golf courses are nice. I need to get more rounds under my belt and I feel that I\u2019m starting to get better,\u201d said Els, who has won over 60 titles worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jakarta: A return to Asia has brought out the best from Ernie Els after he trailed Australia\u2019s Scott Hend and Korea\u2019s Hwang Inn-choon by two shots in the first round of the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters on Thursday.
