Open day 4: Oosthuizen looking good for win
After four holes on the final round at St Andrews, Louis Oosthuizen is five strokes ahead of his immediate rival, England's Paul Casey.
The South African is on level par so far this round, keeping him 15-under for the tournament. But Casey has had an early error, dropping a shot on the 2nd to fall to 10-under.
Germany's Martin Kaymer is third after staying on level par today up to the 6th, eight-under for the tournament.
Lee Westwood and Henrik Stenson both remain tied for fourth place on seven-under, each man level par so far today.
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy is up to sixth place after carding two-under on the front nine, birdies coming on the 5th and 9th.
And England's Luke Donald had a good final round, five-under for the tournament after shooting a three-under 69 today, complete with an eagle on the 18th.
Spain's Alvaro Quiroz hit a splendid final round of five-under 67 to finish five-under for the tournament; that pushes him up into the top ten, though that place isn't guaranteed with the leaderboard fluctuating throughout the afternoon.
Graeme McDowell's hopes of winning a second major on the bounce are over, as the Northern Irishman three-putted for a double bogey on the 17th, leaving him two-under on the day, three-under for the tournament. McDowell won the US Open last month but never really looked in contention at St Andrews this week.
Japan's Ryo Ishikawa shot two-under today, a score that left the teenager two-under for the tournament too, and currently tied for 31st place on the board.
Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke was one-over today, but that couldn't do much to help Clarke after a poor five-over par on his third round yesterday; Clarke finished on level-par for the tournament.
Steve Stricker may be the world No. 4, but he's hardly the most recognisable figure in golf, and he put in a similarly anonymous performance here, finishing two-over on the day - and also for the tournament, the American currently tied for 57th place on the leaderboard.
