Australian Geoff Ogilvy holed an 18-foot birdie putt on the second play-off
hole to win his first PGA Tour title at the Chrysler Classic of Tucson.
Kevin Na, the youngest player on tour, and Mark Calcavecchia were in the
play-off with Ogilvy after finishing 72 holes at 19-under-par 269.
Ogilvy, who had finished second three times on tour, carded a one-under 71 in
the final round and had trouble down the stretch with two bogeys and no birdies
on the back nine.
Calcavecchia entered the final round tied for fourth and got into the play-off
with a 69 while Na was tied with Ogilvy for the 54-hole lead and needed a birdie
on 18 to join the play-off.
The trio went back to the par-four 18th to start the play-off where
Calcavecchia was eliminated after a double-bogey. His second shot found a
greenside bunker and he needed two shots to get out.
Ogilvy had a chance to win with a birdie putt from 28 feet but had to settle
for par. Na extended the play-off another hole by draining a 27-footer.
After both players drove in the rough on the par-five 10th, Ogilvy punched out
100 yards from the green while Na took a shot at the flag and rolled his ball to
the back fringe. Ogilvy's third shot put him 18 feet away while Na chipped to
eight feet.
Ogilvy then calmly sank his birdie putt and Na failed to convert for his
second runner-up finish of the season.
