GOLF: 2010 Open champion Louis Oosthuizen will provide his formidable presence to the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open at Castle Stuart Golf Links from July 12-15.

"I'm delighted to be playing the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart," confirmed Oosthuizen.

"Playing at Castle Stuart the week before The Open makes the Scottish Open an important tournament for a few reasons.

"Playing on a links course will be great preparation for so many of the little knock-downs and feel shots that you will be looking to use at The Open.

"And the fact that the Scottish Open will have a real quality field means you will be able to be really competitive the week before The Open."

Oosthuizen will join world No.1 and defending champion Luke Donald at the £2.5million tournament.

Also confirmed for the event is three-time major champion Padraig Harrington along with leading Scots Paul Lawrie and Martin Laird.
