Madam Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on Sunday, 18 July 2010, South African golfer, Louis Oosthuizen, won the British Open Championship with a seven-stroke victory over Lee Westwood;
2) further notes that this win was the 27-year-old Oosthuizen's maiden Major title, and that it occurred in the 139th edition of this esteemed championship, held this year at the Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland;
3) recognises that this accomplishment allows Oosthuizen, who was ranked 54th in the world going into the British Open, to join an esteemed list of South African golfers who have won the British Open, including Bobby Locke, Gary Player and Ernie Els, and thus raised the sought-after Claret Jug;
4) further acknowledges that prior to the tournament, Oosthuizen had missed the cut in his three previous appearances at the British Open and that his previous best performance in a Major was a 73rd- placed finish at the 2008 PGA Championship;
5) congratulates Louis Oosthuizen for his convincing win at the British Open; and
6) wishes Oosthuizen all the best in his future career.
Agreed to.
