Oosthuizen 'finds' his putting stroke with commanding win over Fleetwood in Match Play tournament IOLsport

AUSTIN – Louis Oosthuizen said 'everything fell into place' when he found his putting rhythm as he progressed to the knockout stages of the WGC Match Play in Austin, Texas, with a commanding 4&3 win over England’s Tommy Fleetwood on Friday.Branden Grace also made it into the round of 16 by dominating his group which was headed by world number one Dustin Johnson.“I felt I was missing something in my putting stroke and found it.

"And as I did it I sort of realised what I was doing wrong. After that, I started rolling the putts really good. And once you start rolling it good, you start reading it better and I just knew I had to keep my ball in play because I’m going to have a chance on the greens.” He hasn’t won that many holes in the event, but it has been enough to get him through on the back of the high number of birdies he’s made.

He will need that kind of grit against Leishman, as the Aussie has been impressive this week. “It will be a tough match,” he said. “Marc is playing some good golf. It will be a tough match. Hopefully we play some good golf.”

The solution to Mombasa’s chronic road traffic congestion was simple: Increase the number of lanes across the four-lane Nyali Bridge to the north of the city, depending on the flow of traffic, and station officers to police key intersections. Eureka. Things work for a reason, but they also don’t work for good reason.
