Despite the dethroning of King Tiger late last year golf has to go on. The first event of the 2010 PGA Tour season ended with a whimper on the 18th green of Kapalua’s Plantation course Sunday. A six-inch tap-in putt by Geoff Ogilvy enabled him to win the season opener for a second successive year. However, the shots leading up to the putt were not quite as tame, and just proved that there are many pros on tour playing flawless golf with determination and excellent decision making abilities. A year after winning the same tournament by six shots, Ogilvy used the above mentioned skills to make up a two-shot deficit over his last 10 holes for a 6-under 67 and a one-shot victory over Rory Sabbatini, making him only the second repeat winner at Kapalua.
U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover’s bid to become the second straight wire-to-wire winner at Kapalua ended early when he hit into the hazard on consecutive holes and lost three shots. He closed with a 76 and was 14th in the 28-man field.
Back to Ogilvy though: check out a shot that makes mere golf morals sigh and realize the difference between “us” and “them.”
