ATLANTA – What some saw as a gamble Louis Oosthuizen embraced as an advantage.
When the South African withdrew from the Wyndham Championship with an ailing neck he was eighth on the FedExCup point list, which made him a lock to qualify for the Tour Championship. It also made his next move much easier.
“For me it was a very easy decision after I withdrew from Wyndham after hurting my neck,” Oosthuizen said. “Even before that I was never going to play (The Northern Trust). I wanted Atlanta to be my second week. I always feel like when I have time off I always feel ready to go.
