Breaking 90

I know it’s a little late to the party, but congratulations to Geoff Ogilvy for winning last weekend’s SBS Championship at the Plantation Course in Kapalua.

He beat out Rory Sabbatini by shooting six-under on the final day of the tournament.

What’s really interesting about this win for Geoff is that it is going to put him in the pole position to benefit from Tiger’s absense. Last year, he won this tournament (when it was called the Mercedes Benz Championship) as well as the WGC Match Play.

He obviously has the game, but to really take advantage, he is going to need to assert himself in the majors; last year he finished in the top 15 at Augusta, but was a combined +31 at the US and British Opens and PGA, and a whopping 97 over in the majors since his fantastic 2006 where he followed up on a win in the US Open with great performances at the British and PGA.
