Defending Africa Open champion Louis Oosthuizen ready to deliver despite imminent arrival of second child

The new European Tour season kicks off on Oosthuizen?s home soil in South Africa at the East London Golf Club on Thursday with the 2010 Open winner looking to retain the title he won in a play-off a year ago.

The 29 year-old is perhaps under even more pressure this time around, with his wife Nel-Mare expecting their second child.

?It is fun defending a title so I hope the week runs smoothly and that I don?t get a phone call telling me to come home,? Oosthuizen said.

?But sometimes it?s good to have your thoughts elsewhere and not solely on the golf. I?ll be focused on what I have to do on the course but I?ll always be mentally checking on what?s going on at home.?

Oosthuizen insists last year?s win was particularly special.

?Obviously winning The Open was a dream come true for me but it was always a dream of mine as well to win a co-sanctioned tournament on The European Tour back home in South Africa,? he said.
