Lodewicus Theodorus "LouisOosthuizen (born 19 October 1982) is a South African professional golfer, who won the 2010 Open ChampionshipIn March 2010, he won his first European Tour event at the Open de Andalucia de Golf.[4] He also won the 2010 Masters Par 3 Contest.[5] Oosthuizen claims his exemplary focus during the tournament, which enabled him to win by a wide margin, was due to a red spot marked on his glove, designed to act as his trigger, in the same way that the referee's whistle concentrates a player's mind in football. He would look at that spot as the beginning of his pre-shot routine and use it as his whistle, remaining totally focused and relaxed before every shot. 


Oosthuizen had consulted Karl Morris, a Manchester-based sports psychologist, prior to the event for ways in which he could improve his concentration.
