Today Champion is spelt Oosthuizen

Louis Oosthuizen crosses bridge on 18 at St. Andrew's

Louis Oosthuizen finished -16, adding his name to the record books by winning the 2010 British Open Championship at the home of golf, St. Andrew’s. Oosthuizen took the lead on the 7th hole during the second round of play on Friday and never looked back. Once he had the lead he built on it and ended up winning the tournament by 7 shots.

Oosthuizen played just tremendous golf all week and “…he was hitting the ball on a string” Tiger Woods said to Tom Rinaldi in an interview after he finished his round today. Oosthuizen was fearless and it could not have been better exemplified when he pulled out his driver on the 13th hole and bombed the ball down by the green. This forced Paul Casey to take out his driver and he ended up in the bushes and made a 7 on the hole, essentially sealing the deal for Oosthuizen.
