Louis Oosthuizen

Oosthuizen's seven-stroke winning margin over Lee Westwood at St Andrews in 2010 has been bettered at The Open only by Tiger Woods since 1913. 

At the time he was world-ranked 54th and a 200/1 long shot, having previously made only one cut in a Major, but five years later he nearly lifted the Claret Jug on the course again. In a play-off with Zach Johnson and Marc Leishman he started the four extra holes with a birdie, but Johnson matched it and went on to win by one. The South African has finished second in all four Majors. He also lost a play-off to Bubba Watson in the 2012 Masters after an albatross on the second hole, finished one stroke behind Jordan Spieth at the 2014 US Open and then in 2017 was joint runner-up again behind Justin Thomas at the PGA Championship.

Reached world No 4 and career also contains nine European Tour titles, most recently an emotional six-stroke victory in the South African Open in December, a 57 on his home Mossel Bay course and three Presidents Cup caps. That includes winning all four games with Branden Grace and halving his singles against Patrick Reed in 2015.
