Despite 54-hole lead at Royal St. George's, Louis Oosthuizen once again comes up short

SANDWICH, England -- Louis Oosthuizen produced an amazing two months of golf, contending in three consecutive major championships and joining a short list of players to finish top-3 in three of them in a single year.

He simply has no hardware to show for it.

Oosthuizen, 38, the 2010 Open winning at St. Andrews, had the 54-hole lead at Royal St. George's but failed to put together the round necessary to win his second major championship on Sunday.

Collin Morikawa, 24, shot a final-round 66 to win his second major championship while Oosthuizen could manage just a 71 to finish in a tie for third with Jon Rahm, four shots back.
