SEASON IN REVIEW: The 2010 British Open champ
nearly won his second major but ended up losing the Masters to a
brilliant shot by Bubba Watson on the second hole of sudden death.
He was third the week before the Masters and finished fourth at the
Bridgestone Invitational. The South African came up big in his
first FedExCup Playoffs, too -- tying for fifth at The Barclays,
finishing second at the Deutsche Bank Championship and tying for
16th at the BMW Championship. --

EAST LAKE HISTORY: This is Oosthuizen's first
appearance at East Lake.
ALBERS’ QUICK TAKE: Fred Albers, on-course
correspondent for SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, provides a quick look at
Oosthuizen:
When you watch him play, you wonder why he doesn't win more
often. His swing is so good, he chips and putts well. I thought he
made a mistake on the back nine Sunday at Deutsche Bank when he did
not put the tournament away, allowing McIlroy an opening on
Monday.
