Martin Kaymer became just the second German, after Bernhard Langer, to win one of Golf's majors following a dramatic final day at Whistling Straits. Kaymer finished a three-hole play-off with Bubba Watson ahead by one shot after Watson went into water at the final hole. Earlier, Dustin Johnson had appeared to have a short putt on the final hole to win the tounament, pushed the ball wide and then was controversially told he had been given a two-shot penalty for grounding his club in sanded area which was deemed to be a bunker. Nick Watney shot a six-under par 66 in round 3, for a three-shot lead over Johnson and Rory McIlroy heading into the final round but faded out of contention on the Sunday. Matt Kuchar hit a three-under par 69 to lead the season's final major at the halfway point on a second day of fog delays.

Rory McIlroy (68), Henrik Stenson (71) and Paul Casey (75) were tied third on eight under. Tiger Woods ended well adrift on three under after a level-par 72. Oosthuizen is the second South African to win the Open at St Andrews after Bobby Locke in 1957. He also joins Locke, Gary Player, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Trevor Immelman on the list of South African major winners. Oosthuizen enjoyed the best of the weather on a stormy second day to establish a five-shot halfway lead. The 27-year-old shot a five-under-par 67, while first round leader Rory McIlroy endured terrible conditions to card an eight-over-par 80, 17 shots worse than his opener.
