Louis Oosthuizen withdraws from Alfred Dunhill Championship
Louis Oosthuizen was having a decent tournament till the time he was forced to retire from the Alfred Dunhill Championship due to an eye infection.
Although the South African Golf professional was not up to his level best during the tournament, he was capable of making a comeback. His presence would have put pressure on the top players on the leaderboard.
Charl Schwartzel eventually won the tournament with a delightful display of golf, especially during the second and the third round.
Oosthuizen is one of the most competent golfers in the world and has always been a major contender in any tournament he enters.
His tournament till the end of the third round was nothing extraordinary. He made several blunders that cost him numerous places on the leaderboard.
Oosthuizen is one of those players who have a major impact on South African golf. His overall excellent game and a charismatic follow through of his drives are highly respected.
The South African had his share of bad times on the Leopard Creek Golf Club course. He played an awful third hole in the first round of the tournament and a similar performance on the thirteenth hole of the third day.
The Alfred Dunhill Championship is one of the most high profile tournaments of the Sunshine Tour. With the wonderful setting the club provides, it is a memorable experience to watch the players battle it out on the course.
The Leopard Creek Golf Club is located on one of the remotest places, it is surrounded by wilderness.
With over 200 species of birds that can be seen hovering over the course, other wild animals run across quite often as well.
The Alfred Dunhill Championship has come to its end. It had its share of drama and excitement. Charl Schwartzel took the game to a new level with his consistent game and aggressive play.
He led the tournament from the second round. There onwards, he kept on extending his lead and eventually won the tournament with a 12-shot advantage over the second place contender.
Although the South African professional, Oosthuizen was not able to make a mark in the tournament, his presence in the coming tournaments will certainly be a point of consideration for the other players.
