South African Louis Oosthuizen won the British Open on Sunday, capturing his first major title by seven strokes on the famed Old Course.
Oosthuizen became the first player since American Tony Lema in 1964 to win his first major title at the birthplace of golf, firing a final-round one-under par 71 to finish 72 holes on 16-under par 272.
England's Lee Westwood finished second on nine-under, his fourth top-three finish in the past five majors. Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, Sweden's Henrik Stenson and England's Paul Casey shared third on eight-under.
