South African major champion whose extraordinary consistency and calm under pressure produced victory at the 2010 Open Championship and multiple near-misses at the other majors.
Louis Oosthuizen is a South African golfer most famous for his dominant Open Championship victory at St Andrews in 2010, where he produced one of the most complete performances in Major history. He has since been runner-up in multiple Majors — the US Open, Masters, and Open Championship — earning him the unfortunate nickname of 'the best player never to win a second Major.' His simple, graceful swing is one of golf's most admired.
