Ogilvy opens up big lead in Hawaii

Geoff Ogilvy is poised for victory in the opening event of the PGA Tour season after firing a sizzling eight-under-par 65 yesterday to open up a six-stroke lead at the Mercedes-Benz Championship.

The Australian entered the third round with a one-stroke lead over DJ Trahan after rounds of 67 and 68 and tacked on five strokes to his cushion at the winners-only event with a bogey-free round that included eight birdies.
