Louis Oosthuizen owns a piece of history at Augusta National. He'd rather have a green jacket, but that double eagle will have to suffice. After kicking off the day with the rare albatross, Oosthuizen came up short to Bubba Watson in a playoff at the Masters Sunday, outdone by perhaps the only shot more spectacular than his. Unable to see the flag, Watson managed to hook a wedge off the pine needles to 10 feet on the second playoff hole while the South African couldn't get up and down from in front of the green. It was tough after that double eagle. When something like that happens early in your round, you think that this is it," Oosthuizen said. It's a hard day, but you know, congrats to Bubba. He did brilliantly. Despite a commanding win at the British Open in 2010 and one of the sweetest, smoothest swings in the game, Oosthuizen is still largely an unknown, even among the golf crowd. Maybe it's because he splits his time between the European and PGA tours. Maybe it's because he's so low-key his idea of a good time is hunkering down on his farm in South Africa. But he has the game to hang with anyone. While everyone else was measuring Phil Mickelson for his fourth green jacket Sunday morning, defending champion Charl Schwartzel was putting his money on his countryman and junior golf buddy. "I think he's playing the best out of everyone up there," Schwartzel said. That albatross is sure to grab everyone's attention. It was the first double eagle ever on No. 2, and only the fourth in the 76 years of the Masters. "I just wanted to run over there and give him a high five," Watson said. As a fan of golf, that's what you love watching and I got to see it front row. But forget about saving it for some grand trophy case back home, that's not his style. He flipped it into the crowd, instead. But the albatross was, well, a bit of an albatross. "It was tough the next five holes to just get my head around it and just play the course," Oosthuizen acknowledged. He finally settled down about the 11th hole, but made only two more birdies the rest of the day. And both were on par-5s, where birdies may as well be pars for the way the long holes play at Augusta National.
