Geoff Ogilvy still needed to Hawaii
The Australian Geoff Ogilvy kept his title Sunday at the tournament Kapalua (Hawaii), pocketing the first race of the season on the PGA Tour.
Ogilvy, 32, a stroke ahead of South African Rory Sabbatini, author of a remarkable final round, finished on a card 63 (or 10 strokes under par) punctuated ten birdies and three times its compatriot Matt Kuchar.

The Australian, who finished the final round in 67 strokes Sunday, has also benefited from the collapse of the American Lucas Glover, who won the Open in the United States in 2009, which ended each of first three round leader before making a final card of 76, three strokes above par.
The American Stewart Cink, defending champion at the Open in Britain, took ninth place with six shots behind the winner while the Argentine Angel Cabrera, winner of the Masters in Augusta last season, finished one shot back.
