Sorry for the long wait but life has been a bit hectic the last four months and I've had a bit of an injury as well. I tore some ligaments in my left ankle and this is my first week back here at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai.

Part of my recovery is to play and get the ligaments back to normal but it is very difficult. I've got this huge brace I need to play with which restricts my swing.

So this was a week to test the ankle. I'm taking another two weeks off and then starting at the Dubai World Championship.

I shall be doing some more rehab during the next two weeks in Dubai so hopefully will be 100%... MORE »

Hi everyone

Well, what can I say...... I won the Open Championship 2010.... man does that sound good.

I've always wondered how it would feel and if it would ever happen. Everyone around me believed in me but I always had that little bit of doubt. I must say, the minute I was in that situation I loved it. It made me focus so good and would love to be in it again. I now know that I can win majors and that I can handle those tough situations. It was just a great week and I hope you all enjoyed it like I did.

At the moment I'm in Sweden but can't wait for my week off next week to have a... MORE »

Hi there everyone,

I'm in St Andrews and ready for the Open championship. My back is feeling better but still not 100%.

Last week was terrible in the Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond. I played well but had a run of four holes where I missed four eight footers and missed a little 2 footer as well. I struggled to find my speed on the greens and that cost me badly.

This is a new week and I'm looking  forward to it so much and being at St Andrews is really special. Hopefully the weather will be good but you never know in Scotland.

That's all for now. Louis

Hi everyone.......Hope everything is fine with you......

My last event I played was the US Open at Pebble Beach and I was very disappointed not making the cut there. I was playing so well but just made a few mistakes which cost me dearly.

I took off the week asfter the US Open to get myself ready for the French, Loch Lomond and the Open and then I went out and hurt my back in the Pro-am at the French Open on Wednesday. I had to withdraw on the Thursday just before my tee time. I hate that, because I felt really good going in to the tournament.

Now I'm at home resting and went for a MRI yesterday and I'm still waiting to hear the results from... MORE »

Hi everyone ................. I know it's been a while since my last blog but I have a good excuse - I've been in South Africa and doing some house moving.

I have bought a little farm on the Gouritz river in the Southern Cape in SA which is right next to the farm I grew up on so I am very excited about all of this. I hope to never move house again, but I still need to actually move into the farmhouse in September.

We are so excited about this move and I have to say that, still being a kid at heart, I'm just looking forward to buying my tractor. I grew up on a farm so it is just in my blood,... MORE »
