UPDATE !!! 8.00am est Sunday
Louis Oosthuizen has just won the Maybank Malaysia Open 2012 by 3 shots from Scotland's Steven Gallagher and it couldn't be more deserving, he is playing as well as anyone in the world right now..
Remember he was leading going into the final round two weeks ago in Texas only to be overhauled by Hunter Mahan and finished 3rd, then Watson’s moment of magic at the tenth denied him a Masters win in a play-off only seven days ago.
Add in the fact that he travelled through 12 time zones, over 30 hours to get to Kuala Lumpur, where it was hot, humid and thundery all weekend, with delays that meant he had to play 26 holes today to win his 5th European Tour title.
66 68 69 68 -17, all four rounds under 70, he finished his 3rd round with 8 pars early this morning, before posting his -4 68 minutes ago.
Spain’s Rafael Cabrera-Bello continued his good form with a closing 71 for a 12 under total to share third with England’s Danny Willett (71) and American David Lipsky (70), with Oosthuizen’s friend and compatriot Charl Schwartzel sixth on 11 under. World Number Seven Martin Kaymer and defending champion Matteo Manassero also recorded top-ten finishes after rounds of 71 and 69 respectively
