Ogilvy aiming to build on another perfect start

GEOFF OGILVY repeated his season-opening success of 12 months ago in Hawaii but promised not to make the same mistakes that led to a slump in form during the height of the campaign.

The Australian former US Open champion won the 2009 PGA Tour opener at the Kapalua Resort for the previous season’s tournament winners and went on to win the World Golf Champions-Accenture Match Play in Tucson a month later, only to struggle for the rest of the year.

Ogilvy successfully defended his title at Kapalua on Sunday night as he won the newly-sponsored SBS Championship, shooting a final-round 67 on the par-73 Plantation Course to finish at 22 under par, a shot better than South Africa’s Rory Sabbatini.
