Geoff Ogilvy has not played a competitive round of discount golf clubs in nearly a month. His heart is still at home, where his wife gave birth to their third child less than a week ago. At any other tournament, it might not be the ideal preparation to defend a golf clubs title.
Ogilvy came to this event in 2006 at La Costa feeling good about his game. Ten times that week, he watched taylormade r9 driver an opponent stand over a putt to eliminate him. By the end of the week, he was holding the trophy.
A year ago at Dove Mountain, he wasn't sure he could get his first tee callaway x-22 irons shot in the fairway. He struggled through the first two rounds, got better as the week went on, and in the championship match felt it was the best he had ever played(ishiner).
"If this week doesn't go well, it won't be because of how I'm playing titleist ap2 irons today," Ogilvy said Tuesday on the eve of the first World Golf Championship of the year. "It will be because someone plays better than me."
That's how it is in golf's most fickle format.
Stories abound of players who make seven birdies and lose, and players who don't make any and win. It all starts Wednesday on the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain, when half of the 64-man field will be eliminated.
Ogilvy is among three champions taylormade r7 cgb max Irons who were not among the top 50 seeds. He was No. 52 when he won in 2006, while Steve Stricker was No. 55 in 2001 and Kevin Sutherland was No. 62 a year later.
