South Africa's injured Oosthuizen withdraws from Masters

South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champion, withdrew from the Masters on Saturday due to an unspecified injury.

Text size:

The 40-year-old who made his major breakthrough with a triumph at St. Andrews was destined to miss the cut at Augusta National anyway was 7-over through 35 holes.

Oosthuizen, among the 18 LIV Golf League players who qualified for the Masters, had fired a 76 in Thursday's opening round and was 3-over through 17 holes in his second round Friday when severe weather halted play.

World number 120 Oosthuizen, a nine-time European Tour winner, has six runner-up finishes in major championships, including a 2012 loss to Bubba Watson in a playoff at the Masters.

Oosthuizen also withdrew from last year's Masters, that after an opening 76.
