Add Louis Oosthuizen to the lengthy list of notable veterans who broke through for a win in 2018.

The former Open champ took control of the South African Open with an opening-round 62, and he finished things off with a pair of 67s over the weekend at Rand Park GC. It added up to a six-shot win, equaling the tournament record for margin of victory. It's also Oosthuizen's first worldwide title since claiming the ISPS Handa Perth International in February 2016.

"I knew today was going to be very special or heartbreaking," Oosthuizen told reporters after winning his national Open.
