Louis Oosthuizen is the next star to withdraw from The Masters as he fails to return to play the 18th hole of his second round due to injury – with South African set to miss the cut anyway
Major winner Louis Oosthuizen has pulled out of The Masters on day three of the tournament.
The South African did not return to complete his second round on day three after play was suspended on Friday due to storms.
The severe weather conditions knocked three pine trees over near the tee box at the par-four 17th.
Oosthuizen follows both Kevin Na and Will Zalatoris in having to miss the first major of the year after playing some part.
Oosthuizen on seven-over par, and therefore set to miss the cut, after completing 17 holes of his second round did not return to Augusta National on Saturday.

LIV Golf star Na pulled out of the tournament midway through his first round at Augusta National on Thursday, citing illness for his decision.
The Korean-American was the first golfer from the breakaway Saudi-backed league to tee it up at The Masters on Thursday, but he could only manage nine holes before he pulled out with his score at four-over-par.
Then, Zalatoris, who came close to winning The Masters two years ago before eventually being beaten by one shot by Hideki Matsuyama, withdrew due to injury ahead of his opening round.
The 26-year-old has been dealing with a troublesome back ever since he was forced to pull out of the BMW Championship last summer.
