Golf. Hawaii Becomes Her!

The new PGA season is here and with it came the first year's winner. Geoff Ogilvy successfully defended his title at the SBS Championship. However, the feat did not take the same path.

Ogilvy won last year by six strokes, but this time he was behind Rory Sabbatini, who shot a round of 63, including five straight birdies from 11 to 15. With that, Geoff needed a low score and soon, began the day with birdies at 1 and 5, however, at 6 took a bogey. Either way the fight turned to spin birdies of 8 to 10 and clinched the win on 14 and 15.

Coupled with this, Sabbatini


did not reach the 18th green in two, leaving a chance for birdie, which wasted itself and had to settle for par. To have secured the tiebreaker eagle had been imminent and the pressure on Ogilvy birdie would have been immense. Anyway we must recognize that Sabbatini had a great comeback, as the beginning of the fourth round was a 6 shots off the lead.

For his part, Sean O'Hair was on the heels of Geoff and Rory, in any way a double bofey at 18 took him away from the top. Lucas Glover and Angel Cabrera saw his chance disappear as the weather worsened.

This week the tour will continue in Hawaii pra celebrate the Sony Open, where Zack Johnson will try to defend his title.
