Louis Oosthuizen hopes to put his recent swing troubles behind him when he features in this weeks inaugural Maybank Championship Malaysia. The South African has struggled to find his rhythm during the early-season events, missing the cut in two of his four starts and not taking advantage of a strong start to the week at the Qatar Masters.Oosthuizens ball-striking wasnt on-song in Doha, where after moving in to a share of the first-round lead he stuttered on the Friday and carded successive 71s over the weekend. The former Masters champion then suffered an early exit a week later in Dubai, but he remains upbeat after bouncing back from a pair of double bogeys on the Friday to post three birdies on the back nine. Oosthuizen missed the cut at the Dubai Desert Classic I lost my rhythm a little on the Friday in Qatar, Oosthuizen said on Tuesday. I struggled with my ball flight and when its windy thats the last thing you want to happen.It was the same again for the first 27 holes in Dubai, I couldnt find the flight I was looking for. But I played a lot better on my back nine on Friday.I struck it really well and made some good birdies, and even though it wasnt enough to make the cut I was still able to take a lot from it.The world No 21 withdrew from Tuesdays Pro-Am after flight issues saw him arrive in Kuala Lumpur later than planned, but he expects to be 100% ready when he tees off alongside recent Dubai Desert Classic champion Danny Willett and former Malaysian Open winner Thongchai Jaidee on Thursday. Oosthuizens previous win in Kuala Lumpur came at the 2012 Malaysian Open Delays in New York and Dubai saw him take more than 36 hours to get from his Florida home, although Oosthuizen can take encouragement from the fact his previous win in Malaysia came after similar issues.Im struggling to stay awake to be honest with you! Oosthuizen added. Its just one of those things, with the amount of travelling we do its bound to happen at some time. Hopefully its a good omen after what happened four years ago when we couldnt get out of Augusta on the Sunday night because the play-off [with Bubba Watson] finished late, and I didnt end up arriving here until the Wednesday. So at least this time Ive given myself an extra 24 hours to prepare! Ive got a day to rest up and get some sleep, so hopefully by tomorrow I should be fine and ready to go. Willett has finished inside the top-four in four of his past six starts Willett took a week off after his impressive victory in last months Desert Swing finale moved him to a career-high world No 1, but returns as one of five of Europes EurAsia Cup winning squad to join captain Darren Clarke in this weeks field.Its a new tournament so Ive never played this course before, and its always exciting to take on a new challenge, Willett told a pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday. Its a bit different to most of the courses the guys are used to playing on the Tour.Its not wide open fairways or particularly long, so its going to take some shot-making to do well. Youve got to drive the ball well and put yourself in position on the fairways. So its very old school, but Im sure were going to have a fair bit of fun out there this week.Watch the Maybank Championship Malaysia throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf Also See: Recap: Oosthuizens 2012 win Watch: Season Pass New look to 2016 schedule Golf live on Sky Sports 4 Fake Angels Jerseys .

NEW YORK -- Russell Westbrook doesnt just do triple-doubles in games anymore.Now hes got one for the entire season.Westbrook raised his averages to 30.9 points, 11.3 assists and 10.3 rebounds through more than a month of play with his NBA-leading eighth triple-double as the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the New York Knicks 112-103 on Monday night.Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson is the only NBA player to average a triple-double for a season, so Westbrook was asked if his current pace is sustainable.Winning is sustainable, he said. Thats all I know, man, and my job is to make sure we go out and find the best way to win games and right now weve won three straight and thats the most important part for me.Westbrook had his third straight triple-double and the 45th of his career and nearly did it by halftime, finishing with 27 points, 18 rebounds and 14 assists. He had 14 points, 10 boards and nine assists at the break.He is going to put up numbers because of his ability and just how hard he plays and his gifts, but hes doing a lot of other things that the stat sheet doesnt measure, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. I know everybody is focused on that right now and rightfully so. Its historic what hes doing. But hes really a complete point guard all the way around.Enes Kanter added a season-high 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while Steven Adams had 14 points and 10 boards as the Thunder outrebounded the Knicks 53-40.We got manhandled. Thats tough, Knicks center Joakim Noah said. Russ definitely puts a lot of pressure on the bigs when hes going downhill like that. At the end of the day its always tough knowing that we lost the game on the glass.Derrick Rose scored a season-best 30 points, but the Knicks had their six-game home winning streak snapped. Kristaps Porzingis added 21 points and Carmelo Anthony had 18, but shot just 4 for 19.Westbrook fell just shy of his third straight 15-assist game, but had his highest rebound total of the season -- and one off his career best -- to keep the Thunder rolling after a recent three-game skid.The Knicks led by 11 in the first quarter and things were coming easily, but the Thunder began to grab control with Westtbrooks hustle and Kanters muscle, getting numerous baskets inside to turn around the game.dddddddddddd.It happened so quickly that Westbrook nearly had the stat sheet stuffed before the break.Joffrey Lauvergne missed a 3-pointer that wouldve given Westbrook a 10th assist with 32 seconds left in the half, but the point guard who was MVP of the All-Star Game on this floor two years ago had a shot at the halftime triple-double after grabbing his 10th rebound on the defensive end with a little more than 20 seconds left. He brought the ball up and tried to create, but turned it over on a pass with about 5 seconds to go.TIP-INSThunder: They are 11-5 against the Knicks since moving to Oklahoma City in 2008. ... Donovan grew up in New York and played one season for the Knicks in 1987-88.Knicks: Coach Jeff Hornacek said reserve F Lance Thomas, who hasnt played since Nov. 12 because of a left ankle injury, has been working on the exercise bike and shooting and could be back at practice soon, though there is no timetable for his return to games.STRANGE SCHEDULEThe Thunder are in the midst of a five-game stretch in which they wont play consecutive games in the same time zone. They came to New York for essentially a one-game road trip in between home games Saturday and Wednesday.HE KNOWS NOAHNoah hasnt made a huge impact yet in his first season with the Knicks, but his college coach thinks he will. Donovan, who coached Florida to back-to-back national championships when Noah played there, said the center has incredible heart and praised him as a team leader who cares only about winning.Hes going to put his work in, but hes one of those guys in my opinion thats just truly all about sacrifice, team and winning, Donovan said. So I think hell bring that to the Knicks throughout the entire season.UP NEXTThunder: Host Washington on Wednesday, their first game against former Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks.Knicks: Visit Minnesota on Wednesday to start another home-and-home set, with the return game at Madison Square Garden on Friday.
