After reading Kristina's post on good sportswriting I was interested in finding features on sports with less action and more tactics.
This blog/feature interview from the BCC on Louis Oosthuizen, winner of the 2010 Golf Open, is jam packed with quotes and comparisons between Oosthuizen and fellow South African great, Ernie Els.
While the descriptions are short, Hodgetts delivers clear, concise images of the man and the golfer.
Eg. "Despite winning by seven shots, the man they call "Shrek" - because of his resemblance to the film character - only relaxed after his drive hit the deck on the 18th."
"But 'Oosty' should have the final word. In fact, Oosty paid for the final word. He bought champagne for the entire media centre after his victory. Long live King Louis."
