Another golf pro says no to Rio

-

Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa won’t be taking part in golf’s return to the Olympics this year, the third major champion to withdraw in the last week as the deadline nears to confirm participat­ion. Oosthuizen, who won the 2010 British Open at St. Andrews and is No. 12 in the world, said Thursday he was pulling out because of family and scheduling issues. Adam Scott, the 2013 Masters champion and No. 7 in the world, and Vijay Singh, a three-time major winner from Fiji, have also said they won’t play.
