What about this new set of also-rans?

EASY as it is to get lost in wonderment as to how this guy from South Africa, Louis Ooosthuizen, snuck up on us, the intrigue with which we depart the Auld Gray Toon is plentiful enough to spread out over a number of topics.

We have now played nine major championships without his name topping the leaderboard. There were the two played late in 2008 while he recovered from a knee injury, a winless campaign in 2009 that included YE Yang’s shocking rally at the American PGA Championship, and now three straight clunkers in 2010.
