Know Your Oosthuizen!

The folks at Golf Digest decided to take their new “intern” out on the streets to play a game called “Name That Golfer.”

Stopping random couples on the street, the host and intern showed them pictures of Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Arnold Palmer, and Louis Oosthuizen.

All of the “contestants” were able to guess Woods, one was able to name Sergio, one guy called Arnie “Tom Collins,” and zero people recognized Louis.  Nothing really too surprising.  The South African is by no means a household name here in the United States.

However, not a single coupled realized the guy in the picture was the same guy holding said picture.  One guy actually pats him on the back and tells him “good job” when Louis, “the intern,” was able to properly pronounce his own last name!
