With the memory of Dustin Johnson’s epic U.S. Open collapse still fresh, the world tuned in Sunday to watch how a little-known little man from South Africa would handle a four-stroke lead and the pressure of Golf‘s biggest stage. Louis Oosthuizen had it all the way. So much so, in fact, that the energy and excitement normally endemic to the final day of a Major cowered and hid from the...

Most British Opens are memorable to some extent, and especially so when they are played at St. Andrews. 2010, although it didn’t have a big name like Tiger Woods winning by eight shots or a Jean van de Velde meltdown on the last hole, the tournament did have its moments that we will look back on years from now. Here are what I think the ten most memorable things were that came out of the ’10...

Louis Oosthuizen grew up in Mossel Bay, South Africa playing on a links course in the city in the southernmost cape of the country that featured 94 pot-bunkers and constant wind. St. Andrews, the setting for the British Open, has felt just like home for the 27-year-old. And not surprisingly, the comfort, coupled with his brilliant play off the tee and steadiness everywhere else, translated to a moment...

Louis Oosthuizen won the British Open, easily, eagling on the ninth hole en route to his first major title. Louis, Louis, Louis, how sweet it is! Oosthuizen played great on all four days for an amazing victory. He will be seen in many events coming, as his invites fill up his inbox. The U.S. players did not fare as well across the pond on this trip. The best U.S. player this week was Dustin Johnson...

Over the last three rounds of the 2010 British Open, Paul Casey has played very well and has had a great performance. If he keeps this up, he will be the winner at the end of the tournament. Today is the fourth and final round of the British Open. At the end of yesterday, Casey was No. 2 on the leaderboard and was only behind the No. 1 Louis Oothuizen by a total of four strokes. Because of Casey’s...

Most of you will find these comments either absolutely ignorant or in some way biased. Tiger Woods win no more majors! How dare you say. Yet for some time I have been getting this feeling that he will not win another major. The reasons strike at the heart of what is good about golf, and bad about Tiger. And they say nothing about money or fame. For these, Tiger is assured the...

Each week during the U.S. Open Series, I will take a look at the tournaments and make my predictions. First up is Atlanta. Andy Roddick took a last-minute wild card and is the top seed of this event, which also features John Isner, Lleyton Hewitt, Mardy Fish, Taylor Dent, and James Blake. It’s a good field and should be an interesting start to the U.S. Open Series. Here are my picks. First...

The All Blacks have won their second match against South Africa in as many weeks with a 31-17 thrashing of the Tri-Nations defending champions. The win perhaps wasn’t as convincing as last week’s at first glance but given the factors, it was every bit as impressive. Last week, the Springboks were overwhelming favourites and were rattled by the way the All Blacks took the game to them...

The 2010 British Open has been one of the most exciting golf Opens in recent memory. In the past three days the tournament has shown story line after story line surrounding the tournament: the beautiful weather on day one, a twenty-one year old taking the lead early only to lose it later on, what looked like a possible comeback for both Woods and Daly, the list goes on. On day three Louis Oosthuizen...

It appears that the final round of the Open Championship will become a two-man race between Louis Oosthuzien and Paul Casey. Oosthuzien leads by four shots over Casey, and Casey is three shots clear of third place. Although both players have put themselves in great position to win Sunday, rounds like Dustin Johnson’s 82 at the U.S. Open and Jean Van de Velde’s collapse at Carnoustie should...
