Louis Oosthuizen Biography

Oosthuizen was born in Mossel Bay, South Africa, where he began playing golf at a young age. He quickly found success and won multiple amateur titles before turning professional at the age of 19 in 2002. In the early years of his career, he received financial support from fellow South African golfer Ernie Els’ foundation for three years, which helped him establish himself on the professional circuit.

Louis Oosthuizen won five professional tournaments on the Sunshine Tour before winning his first European Tour event in 2004 at the Vodacom Origins of Golf Tour event at Arabella. In 2007, he won both the Dimension Data Pro-Am and Platinum Classic, followed by the Telkom PGA Championship twice, in 2007 and 2008. He joined the European Tour in 2004 and finished 31st on the Race to Dubai in 2009.

In March 2010, Oosthuizen won his first European Tour event at the Open de Andalucia de Golf, followed by winning the 2010 Masters Par 3 Contest the next month. At the 2010 Open Championship at St Andrew’s, he surprised everyone by shooting a 65 on the first day, placing him in second place behind Rory McIlroy’s 63.

Oosthuizen’s 67 on Friday gave him a lead that he maintained throughout the final two rounds. His two-day total of 132 tied the record for the lowest 36-hole score in an Open Championship at St Andrew’s. On Sunday, he shot 71, finishing at 16-under-par 272 for the championship, winning by seven strokes. Oosthuizen became the fourth South African to win the Claret Jug, following in the footsteps of Bobby Locke, Gary Player, and Ernie Els.

Oosthuizen credited his exemplary focus during the tournament, which enabled him to win by a wide margin, to a red spot marked on his glove. He looked at that spot as the beginning of his pre-shot routine and used it to help him remain focused before and during his swing. Following his major win, Oosthuizen finished the 2010 season in 10th place on the Race to Dubai, posting three further top-10s. He claimed his third European Tour title in January 2011 and his sixth later that year.
