WATCH: Comedian impersonates Open golfers in hilarious skit

Cape Town - British comedian Conor Moore has taken the mickey out of some of the world's best golfers ahead of the Open Championship at Carnoustie in Scotland.

Ahead of this week's tournament, Moore impersonated, among others, Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Tommy Fleetwood, Bubba Watson and Sergio Garcia to name but a few.

He even took a slight dig at Phil Mickelson's US Open antics, where the 2013 Open winner putted a moving ball and took a two-shot penalty.

Englishman Ian Poulter - who Moore also imitates in the video - found Moore's sketch hilarious, posting it on his Twitter account.

Moore's video has garnered nearly one million views on Twitter and over 500 000 on Facebook.

This week there are 12 South Africans in the field: Charl Schwartzel, Louis Oosthuizen, Brandon Stone, Branden Grace, Retief Goosen, Brandon Stone, Dylan Frittelli, George Coetzee, Erik van Rooyen, Shaun Norris, Zander Lombard and amateur Jovan Rebula.
