Oosthuizen saw his three-shot lead heading into the last round quickly shrink on the final day. But he kept his cool for a win to boost his confidence.

"I missed the greens on the second and third and was a little rattled after that but I settled in nicely and went back to just hitting greens and giving myself opportunities," he said.

"I had a good stretch seven through to 12 and settled myself there and left myself with a vicious first putt on the last but luckily I had three.

"I love Perth and the golf course. It's somewhere I would love to come back to. It's a great course to play.

"This is a great start building up towards Augusta. I'll take a lot out of this week and things that we've done. It's been two years since I had a win so this is massive for me going into the season ."
