Oosthuizen closed with an even-par 71 on the TPC Boston to finish solo in second at 19-under. The 2010 British Open champion lost earlier this year to Bubba Watson in a playoff at the Masters.
Tiger Woods parred eight consecutive holes beginning at the 10th and then made birdie on 18 for a fourth round five-under 66. Woods finished third at 18-under-par 266.
Woods also surpassed the $100 million mark in PGA Tour earnings with his third-place finish.
Dustin Johnson (70) and Phil Mickelson (66) tied for fourth at minus-14. It marked Mickelson’s best finish since the Masters, where he finished in a tie for third.
