OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. – Louis Oosthuizen was just entertaining the kids. Instead, he ended up entertaining the world … well, at least those with Internet connections. Oosthuizen entered the media center at THE NORTHERN TRUST on Wednesday with Andra Day’s song, “Rise Up,� piped through the speakers. It’s the same song he lip-synced to his kids on the plane after his runner-up finish two weeks ago at the PGA Championship. His wife posted the video of Oosthuizen’s performance. Social media took care of the rest. “I was very surprised how much attention it got,� Oosthuizen said. “I was just more trying to entertain the kids to sit still in the plane. “The song came up and we had a little speaker there. My wife had the phone out and she asked me, ‘Should I put this out on Twitter?’ And I said, ‘Well, I never really do anything. So why not? Go ahead.’ It was just one of those moments that happened. Nothing planned really. “At least the kids sat still and listened to it.� Oosthuizen said it was a coincidence that “Rise Up� was the song he lip-synced to, although his wife thought it was appropriate given that second-place finish to Justin Thomas at Quail Hollow. A friend had texted Oosthuizen’s caddie, who was also on the plane, to offer congratulations on joining Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Phil Mickelson, Greg Norman and Craig Wood in that club. The caddie told Oosthuizen, who wasn’t sure how to react. “Really isn’t something I should be very proud of,� Oosthuizen said. “You wonder, where are the wins?� Oosthuizen already has one major win, and hopes to win a few more. As for his lip-syncing career? That appears to have concluded after one video. “Definitely not planning on doing that again,� he said. “It was a one-off thing.� That’s too bad. Some of his fellow PGA TOUR pros enjoyed it. When asked to review Oosthuizen’s performance, Thomas replied: “An A-plus for sure.�
