Oosthuizen takes Perth International win
World No.21 Louis Oosthuizen survived a final-day charge from
Australian Jason Scrivener to win the Perth International at Lake
Karrinyup by one stroke on Sunday.
Oosthuizen took a three-shot
lead into the fourth round, but a sizzling start by Scrivener saw him
briefly join the South African at the top of the leaderboard.
However,
bogeys on the ninth and 10th killed off Scrivener's chances, with
Oosthuizen holding his cool to finish at 16 under for the tournament,
securing his first title since 2014.
Ryan Fox was the best of the Kiwis on one under par in a tie for 52nd.
"It's great to be back in the winning circle," said Oosthuizen, who three-putted the final hole to card a one-under 71 for the day.
"I always say it's great to be nervous with three holes to go in a tournament because it means you're up there somewhere - you're a chance of winning it.
"That's what we do all the hard work for - to try to get into that position.
"This is a very special win for me."
