Louis Oosthuizen holds onto lead at British Open Golf

Scotland (AP) — The last test for Louis Oosthuizen (FSY) was his second shot to the 17th green at St. Andrews, where the pin was planted perilously behind the Road Hole bunker.

He safely sent his 5-iron through the green and onto the 18th tee, where it stopped about six feet away from where Paul Casey (FSY) was about to hit. Lee Westwood (FSY) walked over to the ball and acted as though he was going to smash it back at Oosthuizen.

Even that might not have stopped him Saturday in the British Open.

Oosthuizen opened with a nervous bogey, then settled down quickly on another windswept afternoon for a 3-under 69 that gave him a four-shot lead over Casey and a chance to become the first player in 46 years to win his first major at the home of golf.
