Louis Oosthuizen couldn't quite come out on top, but he had a pretty spectacular weekend regardless. The star golfer said via LIV Golf:

“I played well. The greens are very firm. It’s good, they are running true. You need to really focus on where you want to land that second shot, so hitting fairways is very important. I am hitting it very well. I am still struggling a bit on the greens, finding the right lines, my speed and lines aren’t matching up but with the greens as good as this it’s a good test.”

It wasn't quite enough to win the entire thing, but it was enough to finish second, which is more than admirable. The LIV star played well, as did a lot of his tour mates who've already made it there.

Ortiz said of his win (via LIV Golf):

“With the way the wind was, I had to hold on for the first five holes. After that it was more downwind, so this is how this course plays and you have to take advantage of it. The wind then kind of calmed down and I attacked the pins, and I made some good putts."

He also said he hopes this is the start of a "great year" for him and that the win here means a lot to him. Ortiz has plans of winning on LIV Golf and playing in the Majors this year as well.
