Louis delighted

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN hailed a “perfect” victory after he claimed the South African Open title for the first time.

An emotional Oosthuizen held back tears on the 18th green having powered to a six-shot success in Johannesburg.

The 2010 Open champion carded an eagle, five birdies and three bogeys to sign for a closing 67 and finish the week on 18 under par.

He joins Bobby Locke, Gary Player, Bob Charles, Ernie Els and Henrik Stenson on the list of players to win both the Open and South African Open.

“I wish the family was here,” Oosthuizen said. “I knew today was either going to be very special or heartbreaking.

“There are only a few who have won the Open and SA Open, so I’m very chuffed to have my name on this. This feels very special. This is perfect.”
