Oosthuizen struggled in his opening round on Thursday, notching a 4-over score with two double-bogeys, three bogeys and three birdies.
His first-round struggles were highly-publicized as he took the course in a group with international golf superstar Tiger Woods and current third-place leader Joaquin Niemann (-3). He was set to tee off with this same group at 1:41 p.m. ET this afternoon.
Woods, who finished his Round 1 with a solid 1-under 71, will now take the course in a pairing with just Niemann.
