Louis Oosthuizen(-16)

Runner-up: Lee Westwood

Louis Oosthuizen dominated The Open at St Andrews, leading wire-to-wire. He made a rare albatross (double eagle) on the second hole of the final round, holing his second shot from 253 yards. Oosthuizen finished at -16, four clear of Lee Westwood. It was a supreme performance on the most storied course in golf.
