Oosthuizen atones for Masters heartache with three shot win
The 29-year-old former Open champion, who missed out on a second major at Augusta when he lost a play-off to American Bubba Watson, finished 17 under par at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club – three shots ahead of Scotland’s Stephen Gallacher.
Oosthuizen admitted yesterday the 30-hour journey from Georgia had made things tough, but he coped admirably with the jet-lag this week and carded four sub-70 rounds. He completed his third round (69) earlier yesterday after storms prevented him from doing so Saturday before keeping his cool to post a final-round 68.
