Geoff Ogilvy’s attempt to become the first player on the PGA TOUR to win a golf tournament without recording a bogey since Lee Trevino won the 1974 Greater New Orleans Open ended on the seventh hole of the final round, snapping a streak of 60 holes without a bogey. It was Ogilvy’s only bogey of the tournament.
Geoff Ogilvy is now the third player to win multiple World Golf Championships events. Ogilvy won the 2006 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. Ogilvy joins Darren Clarke (2) and Tiger Woods (15) as the only three players to win multiple World Golf Championships events.
In addition to 28-year-old Sergio Garcia, Ogilvy becomes the only player 30 years of age or younger to have three victories in events in which Tiger Woods is in the field. Ogilvy’s wins with Woods in the field have come at the 2008 WGC-CA Championship, 2006 U.S. Open and the 2006 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. Garcia’s wins with Woods in the field came at the 2001 Buick Classic, 2002 Mercedes Benz Championship and the 2004 EDS Byron Nelson Championship.
