Louis Oosthuizen withdraws from the Joburg Open

After airport accident

Louis Oosthuizen has withdrawn from the Joburg Open after an accident at the airport.

Oosthuizen trapped his fingers in an airport trolley bay, and was left unable to grip a club.

He had been one of the favourites for the event, which is the final European Tour event of 2017, so it will come as a blow to the organizers.

The event is being held at Randpark Golf Club, and Dylan Frittelli, George Coetzee, Haydn Porteous and Darren Fichardt will all be competing for the tri-sanctioned event.
