Louis Oosthuizen has added another entry to the list of bizarre sporting injuries

The golfer will miss this week’s Joburg Open.

A BIZARRE INJURY suffered in an airport has ruled Louis Oosthuizen out of this week’s Joburg Open.

Former Open champion Oosthuizen was expected to head the field at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club but he will play no part.

The Sunshine Tour, one of three sanctioning bodies for the event, confirmed that Oosthuizen had trapped his fingers in an airport trolley and was unable to grip his clubs.

Home fans will have plenty of South African stars to cheer on, however, including reigning champion Darren Fichardt, former winners George Coetzee and Haydn Porteous, as well as Dylan Frittelli, seeking successive wins after taking the Mauritius Open title last week.

The42 has just published its first book, Behind The Lines, a collection of some of the year’s best sports stories. Pick up your copy in Eason’s, or order it here today (€10):

Serena Williams ‘very likely’ to make her return at the Australian Open

‘I went out there not expecting a lot, but it was worse than anything I could ever have imagined’

    A Dublin team with everyone making themselves available to the team,will be a very dangerous team. And only a good thing for hurling. Next year you could have 4 teams in Leinster and be 5 teams in Munster that on anyones day could beat eachother.

    @Jack Fogarty: you could possibly have 6 teams in Munster if it wasn’t for jackasses like yer man above.
    Sorry Ger, but you’re just embarrassing yourself. And I don’t even like Dublin.

    @Ciara Baines: nope
    I actually don’t give a fu€k what you think
    I told the truth there and that’s why you are responding through bitterness
    All you Dublin ponses are all the same
    Take you out of the city in any direction and there will be traffic chaos as it’s like rabbits caught in headlights
    Ha ha €unts all of ye

    They will win fu€k all
    The gaa will pump a load of money in as usual to have a manufactured team trying to play a traditional game against the lads that uts bred into since they came out of the cradle
    And also with a fella that knows no more about hurling than a pig knows about having a holiday
    You will see a glass eye growing out if a tom cats arse before you will see that crowd winning a championship
