The Open day 2: Louis Oosthuizen remains one to catch, but he refuses to tempt fate

South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen on the 18th green during day two of The Open at The Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich, Kent. Picture date: Friday July 16, 2021.

It's not so long ago that early retirement and life on his newly-purchased 90-acre farm in Florida appeared to beckon for Louis Oosthuizen.

A rancher at heart (the syrup-swinging South African also owns a 150-acre farm in his native country), golf isn’t even his first love.
