Golf-Oosthuizen wins rain delayed Leopard Creek tournament


MALELANE, South Africa (Reuters) - Louis Oosthuizen overcame torn tendons in his arm and a nervy finish to win the rain-delayed Alfred Dunhill Championship on Monday, carding a final round 69 for a total of 270 to finish two strokes ahead of home rival Charl Schwartzel.

It was the first success in five years for the 41-year-old Oosthuizen, who started the final round tied with close friend Schwartzel, and was still level with him after play was suspended on Sunday because of heavy rain and the threat of lightning at Leopard Creek Country Club.
