Ogilvy Claims Early Lead at Doral

Two Aussies and a Tiger are at the top of the leader board after the second round of the WGC CA Championships.

Geoff Ogilvy has been searching for his 2006 form as of late. A growing family has reduced his practice time and shown him new priorities. But if his first two rounds at Doral were any indication he seems to be righting the ship. Through 36 holes, Ogilvy has tamed the difficult winds at the Blue Monster to hold a one stroke lead over Tiger Woods. In the second round, the difficult coastal winds returned, and birdie opportunities in the first round played more difficult in the second.

Ogilvy struggled to hit fairways but found a way to hit greens. Combined with solid putting, Ogilvy was able to string together five birdies today on his way to the lead. Through the first two rounds, Ogilvy is the only player in the field without a bogey. "I didn’t hit the ball probably quite as well as I did yesterday, but it’s trickier with this wind direction… Felt like I played from the rough all day. I got up-and-down really well. I couldn’t have had too many putts. I made some good birdie putts and got up-and-down every time I missed the green, so it was pretty good, really," said Ogilvy.

However, the focus will yet again be on Tiger Woods whose second round 66 has him in perfect position to keep his consecutive winning streak alive. Starting on the back nine, Woods carded two eagles and three birdies to get himself in Saturday’s final group. "I’ve hit the ball well this week. You basically have to, with the wind blowing this hard. If you don’t, the wind is going to take it pretty hard.
It was nice to build on what I had done [last] weekend," said Woods.

With a poor weather forecast for Saturday, tee times will be moved up and players will go out in groups of three. Completing the final group with Ogilvy and Woods is Adam Scott. Scott’s up and down round featured an incredible seven birdies. However, three bogies including the final two holes have him two shots behind Ogilvy. Scott’s putting has been a focal point of his career. Many have felt putting was the one facet of his game holding him back. This week, Scott has looked very comfortable on the greens, "I feel really good with my swing, but probably most importantly, these two days putting, I can’t think I’ve hit a bad putt out there. I’ve made some share, but also the ones I didn’t make were really good putts, and that’s what I’m feeling most happy about," said Scott.

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.
