Louis hurtles up ranking charts

-

South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen rose 11 spots to No 25 in the latest world golf rankings yesterday.

Oosthuizen, 36, surged to a six-shot victory on 18-under in the SA Open at Randpark Golf Club on Sunday, the tournament also marking his first win since 2016 and a cheque of R2.8m.

He added the SA Open title to his British Open win in 2010, becoming just the fourth South African to have won both tournament­s after Bobby Locke, Ernie Els and Gary Player. – ANA
