Golf:British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen has shunned the glamour of a new Ferrari or Porsche and instead spent some of his €1million winnings on a custom-built tractor.
"I'll have a kiddie seat on it for my daughter Jana," said the South African ahead of tomorrow’s Scandinavian Masters at the Bro Hof Slott course near Stockholm.
"We're going to have a lot of fun. I bought the tractor for my farm. Being a farm boy it was one of my big dreams.
Oosthuizen, who won at St Andrews by seven strokes, also enjoyed another concession to his new-found fame and riches.
"Flying in this morning by private jet... It's all starting to sink in," added the 27-year-old, who still appeared to be a little stunned by his first major success.
"I got a call from Mr Greg Norman and he said something that I will remember for the rest of my life.
"He said I am the first person to get him to watch a full round of golf on television. He watched my first shot (on Sunday) to my last and couldn't leave the couch."
Oosthuizen was sure last week's overwhelming success, which pushed him up the world rankings from 54 to 15, would keep him at a higher level.
"Confidence-wise it's going to help," he said. "I now tee it up every round knowing I am good enough. When you win one (major) you start looking for your second, then third, you never stop.
The South African, who honoured his commitment to play this week after being given an invitation prior to his St Andrews triumph, is joined by Sweden's 2008 European number one Robert Karlsson, who finished tied 15th at the British Open.
Former Ryder Cup Swede Jesper Parnevik is also in the field and play his first tournament since February.
Five months ago the 45-year-old feared his career might be over because of a fractured vertebrae in his lower back, which needed emergency fusion surgery.
Americans Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson, South African Rory Sabbatini and Korean star KJ Choi have also moved on to the event from Scotland.
Irish representation in Stockholm this week includes; Peter Lawrie, Damien McGrane, Michael Hoey, Simon Thornton and Gary Murphy.
