Oosthuizen smiles during a virtually error-free last round

"That effort was dismissed by many as little more than a fluke in which he benefited from the best of the conditions and he was still available at some tasty prices at that stage.

South African cruises through the final round to win the open at St Andrews by seven shots....

Louis Oosthuizen played the final round of this year's Open like he's been relentlessly winning Majors for the last decade, despite being dismissed as just yet another no-hoper at the start of the tournament, when he was matched at odds of [990.0] on Betfair.

The South African, who had only ever won one tournament outside his native country before this week made a name for himself in this event during the second round when he overtook Rory McIlroy at the top of the leaderboard. That effort was dismissed by many as little more than a fluke in which he benefited from the best of the conditions and he was still available at some tasty prices at that stage. But the man they call "Shrek" hardly put a foot wrong during his last three rounds and ended up winning the tournament by an incredible seven shots with Lee Westwood second and Paul Casey, Henrik Stenson and McIlroy tied for third.

Casey traded at a low of [2.6], Tiger Woods briefly touched [3.7] when going well on the opening day and McIlroy at just [4.1] after that storming start. Despite his nightmare second round, the young Irishman will look back at this week as a positive step in his Majors' career with a fine Top 5 finish after drifting to [13.5] in that market at the end of Friday's round. South Africa was matched at odds of [25.0] on the winning nationality market; a winning margin of 5 strokes or more was matched at a high of [9.0].
