Ogilvy Wins Kapalua Again

What is it with Australians and Kapalua? Geoff Ogilvy won his second consecutive tournament to become the first back to back winner since Stuart Appleby. “I like the golf course, I think it’s fair to say,” Mr. Ogilvy understated accurately. If you shoot 8 rounds under 70 over two years, I think winning would be a distinct possibility.

What is it with Australians and Kapalua?  Geoff Ogilvy won his second consecutive tournament to become the first back to back winner since Stuart Appleby.  “I like the golf course, I think it’s fair to say,” Mr. Ogilvy understated accurately.  If you shoot 8 rounds under 70 over two years, I think winning would be a distinct possibility. 

This time the champion had to rally from a two shot deficit over the last 10 holes, rather than winning by six shots.  With Rory Sabbatini running off 5 birdies in a row en route to a 63, Mr. Ogilvy carved out a 67 for a one shot win.

With the victory Mr. Ogilvy moved back into the world's top 10 players.  Now he needs to figure a way to keep this level of play going forward.  Remember he won last February and then slid back into the pack, due to his trying too hard, and practicing harder than his norm.  Again time will tell.  All but eight of the winners only field are staying on to play in Honolulu next week at the Sony Open.  A much better prospect than going anywhere in the states since even Florida has been below freezing temperatures recently. 

A few names that stood out over the week; Matt Kuchar hung around the lead but never really threatened, and finished alone in third.  Sean O'Hair was within two of the lead on the tee of the 72nd hole, then pulled a shot into the weeds and a fourth play finish.  Steve Stricker shot a first round 73 and got better every day.  All the players shot under par for the tournament, only the second time since 1999
that's happened. 

This was the first tournament with the new grooves in play and the difference didn't appear to affect overall scoring.  It was rather obvious on some shots that the ball didn't spin nearly as much as in the past.  I have to confess I didn't watch the week end very closely however, so I'll with hold judgment for now.

GolfWRX’s Father’s Day Gift Guide (2026)

Published

on

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
