Oosthuizen captures comeback win in Durban

Published: January 12, 2013 

Louis Oosthuizen fired a 6-under 66 on Sunday and stormed back to win the Volvo Golf Champions by a single shot.

Oosthuizen entered Sunday five strokes off Scott Jamieson's pace, but the 2010 Open champion carded seven birdies against a single bogey and tied for the low round of the day en route to his sixth European Tour victory. He closed at 16- under 272.

Jamieson stumbled to even-par in his final round, which included a costly double-bogey, and finished alone in second place at 15-under. First-round leader Thongchai Jaidee carded a 68 at Durban Country Club and placed third at minus-14.

Despite the Sunday setback, Jamieson has enjoyed a sparkling start to the 2013 campaign. He picked up his first European Tour victory here in Durban at the Nelson Mandela Championship in early December and followed a week later with a tie for third place at the Alfred Dunhill Championship. With Sunday's result, the Scot has now finished in the top 3 at all three events this season.
