AUGUSTA, Ga. — Louis Oosthuizen withdrew from the 2023 Masters with just one hole left to play in his second round.
The 2010 British Open champion who has since taken his talents to LIV Golf has been dealing with an elbow injury and neglected to return to competition on Saturday morning to finish his second round after play was suspended due to inclement weather on Friday afternoon. Oosthuizen, 40, shot a 4-over 76 during Thursday’s first round.
Sound familiar? It’s the second year in a row that Oosthuizen has withdrawn from the Masters, having done so at last year’s event in the second round after shooting a 4-over 76 in the opening round.
