Louis Oosthuizen claims back-to-back DP World Tour wins with Mauritius Open triumph

Louis Oosthuizen completed a back-to-back DP World Tour victory with a two-shot victory at the Mauritius Open on Sunday, overcoming early nerves to card a final round 69 at the new La Reserve Golf Club, which he helped design.

The South African won the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek last week for the first time in five years, and he repeated the feat six days later with a 17-under-par score, two ahead of England's Laurie Canter (68, 15 under-par).

Oosthuizen had a one-shot lead going into the final round, but bogeys on the fourth and fifth holes put him two over for the day.

But he found his groove again and finished with six birdies, including one on the par-five 18th.

A trio of players tied for third place on 14 under par, including Swede Sebastian Soderberg, who carded a masterful 63 on Sunday to surge into contention late on.

He bogeyed the first hole of his final round, but then birdied the next 17 holes.
