PGA Tour Top 10 Power Rankings: Honda Classic
By Sam Belden
Louis Oosthuizen — 61st
Oosthuizen has been at or near the top of his game in his two most recent starts. Earlier this month, he fired four consecutive rounds in the 60s en route to a solo third at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, and just last week, he backed that up with a fifth-place finish at the World Super 6 Perth. That kind of form does a lot to offset his questionable history with the Honda Classic, which includes a pair of withdrawals due to injury. With both his body and his game cooperating, the bet here is that he does some damage at PGA National this week.
Though he has one of the sweetest swings in the game, Oosthuizen has gone without a PGA Tour victory since his major-winning week at St Andrews back in 2010. If he gets some breaks, he’s more than capable of bringing an end to that drought this week.
