27 year old Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa led the field of golfers at St.Andrews for 48 shots and finished by seven shots in a hands down victory. Oosthuizen's victory was something special on former South African President Nelson Mandela's 92nd birthday which Oosthuizen said was special, "To win an open championship is something special, but to win it at St.Andrews is something you dream about, it felt special really, when I walked down 18 I was thinking about (Mandela's) birthday." Celebrating the victory to Scotland's bag pipes and a victory that rivaled Tiger Woods victory ten years ago Oosthuizen dominated the tournament with hard work making two bogeys over 35 holes over windy conditions that was blowing over the entire course throughout the day and he closed the course with a 1 under 71 winning over Lee Westwood by seven strokes. Paul Casey on the eighth hole was the closest to making a threat with when he got within three shots then he drove the green with a par 4 ninth. Oosthuizen answered back with a driver onto the green and then hit a 50 foot eagle putt to give him the comfortable lead. "Nobody was going to stop him, he didn't miss a shot today. I don't know if he missed one all week. That was four days of tremendous golf. He didn't flinch today." said Casey USC will be silenced and the NCAA has rules in place: When school starts next month at USC Trojans head coach Lane Kiffin and his student Trojans are fully aware that they will be ineligible from any bowl games for post season due to past team payoffs that have cost the team ineligibility for two years. They will be bowl eligible if there are no repeated offenses or other violations by the year 2012. No matter where USC ends up this will not interfere with the outcome of the polls on how the rankings will go in the Pac Ten. USC is not eligible for the Coaches poll and the Harris Interactive poll. Without these polls it would be impossible for USC to make the bowl games and the Harris and Coaches poll are two of three polls necessary to get bowl selected. T.O. not selected by any team: If it's a matter of his not being able to get the job done which the Buffalo Bills felt was the case or his showboating or Terrell Owens being T.O. it's a combination of issues that is keeping the Pro-Bowl wide receiver from being selected by an NFL team. With pre season nearing Owens has not been invited or signed by any NFL team as of yet and getting ready to host his own reality show. His antics of seasons past might have finally caught up to him as he feels like he's persona non grata, "I try not to listen to it but I have people that follow what's going on with all these football networks, especially with the season approaching. There's not too much positive that comes out of the mouth so it's almost like I almost didn't play last year so they always focus on what happened earlier in my career. It is what it is, people want to say I'm blaming ESPN for this and that but the truth of the matter is when I hear it and other people hear it what else am I suppose to say? I'm not going to sit up there and say that they're not but they're having some type of an influence as to why I can't play. So there is some type of influence that there may be in the minds of teams and owners and GMs and what have you. Owens added "So again if you ask players that were on that team they know that I can still play and I feel like I have enough talent to be a starter on any team for that matter so that's whats so frustrating." After looking at all of Owens experiences on the field in years past with San Francisco, Dallas, Philadelphia, and last year with Buffalo one and done he's wondering where he's going to go next. Owens had many controversies but there was none to speak of in Buffalo. Owens last season with Buffalo had five touchdowns, 829 yards, 55 catches, averaging 15.1 yards per carry he played in all 16 games. Tom Zulewski does the report each week for Sportstalk Radio |
