Final Round British Open Championship Golf Odd: Oosthuizen Four Shots Clear

South African, Louis Oosthuizen, will join the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Severiano Ballesteros, John Daly, Sir Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods, should he continue dominating the Open Championship in this Sunday’s final round at St Andrews. These legendary golfing names represent the last five golfing greats to have won the world’s premier tournament at the home of Golf, St Andrews and now in all probability they will be joined by the relatively unknown Oosterhuizen. Boylesports Bookmakers make the South African a 5/6 odds on favourite to hold on to the lead in the final round, with his nearest rival, England’s Paul Casey given a 5/2 chance.

The British Open Golf championship often throws up winners who were given no chance at the outset of the tournament, indeed Oosthuizen was a 500/1 shot before play began on the ‘Old Course’ last Thursday. However, playing scintillating golf and finishing under 70 in each of the first three rounds, the world number 54, has taken a commanding 4 stroke lead and is showing no signs of relinquishing it.

Incredibly, Oosthuizen has missed the cuts in each of the last four ‘Majors’ he has played in with the only finish he has ever made coming in 2008, when he finished 73rd in the PGA Championship – hardly the pedigree for a Open Champion at St Andrews! He now finds himself in a position that he could have only dreamt of in the full knowledge that the tournament is there for him to lose. However, provided he continues playing in the same vein he will definitely be lifting the Claret Jug at the end of play today.

Whoever wins it looks almost certain that a new name will be added to the Roll of Honour of ‘Major’ champions, with only Refief Goosen currently in the top ten at St Andrews having won one before, but he is 10 shots behind his compatriot. Casey certainly has a good chance, he is four behind and a good start could unnerve the South African, however, Martin Kaymer in third place on 8 under is seven shots adrift while Lee Westwood one of three players a further shot behind. Kaymer is 10/1 and Westwood 12/1 with Boyle sports to defy the odds and win the tournament.

For fans of Tiger Woods, the four time Open Champion, is 11 shots behind on 4 under par and is a 100/1 bet with Boyles to produce the comeback of all time and claim his third tile at St Andrews.
