WINNIN ACROSS THE WORLD

ouis Oosthuizen gave the G driver and fairway woods their third victories in less than a month in claiming the ISPS Handa Perth International on Sunday.

Only three players in European Tour history have hit more greens in one event. The South African’s eighth European Tour title came in his first appearance in this event and it’s his 13th career win worldwide. See his What’s in the Bag on page 2.
