Oosthuizen Eyes First Major Championship

South African Louis Oosthuizen continued his dominance at the Open Championship on Saturday. as he shot a 69 to drop to 15 under par for the tournament. The only question now is whether the 27-year-old can withstand the pressure of a four-stroke lead on day four of a major.

Right behind Oosthuizen is Englishman Paul Casey (-11), one of three golfers to score a round-low 67 on Saturday. No other golfer is better than 8 under for the tournament, so it looks like Oosthuizen and Casey, who also has never won a major, are the only two with a realistic shot at lifting the Claret Jug on Sunday.

Of course, if the weather at St. Andrews has anything to say about it, anybody could win.

Closing thought: Is Oosthuizen's swing one of the most beautiful golf swings you have ever seen, or what? Where did this guy come from?
