Professional golfer Louis Oosthuizen was forced to pull out of the final round at LIV Golf Andalucia on Sunday due to a back injury he suffered during the tournament.
The team captain for Southern Guards GC made the announcement through his social media accounts. The 43-year-old golfer from South Africa named Australia’s Wade Ormsby as his substitute for the competition taking place at Valderrama, Spain.
At the time of his withdrawal, Oosthuizen was sitting at 6-over-par going into Sunday’s final round at the demanding Real Club Valderrama golf course.
The veteran golfer captured the 2010 Open Championship title and holds the distinction of placing second at least once in each of the four major golf championships throughout his career.
