Tiger’s Streak Ends

Geoff Ogilvy held on to a one-stroke lead to win the WGC CA Championship at Doral Country Club this morning. Ogilvy finished with a -17, ahead of Vijay Singh, Jim Furyk, and Retief Goosen–all tied at -16, and Tiger Woods at -15. In a tournament peppered with weather delays, including one that ended play yesterday at 720pm, Ogilvy kept his head and his game focused. Tiger struggled on Saturday and Sunday, but made his customary charge for the seven holes played Monday, birdying three of the seven. It wasn’t enough.

Woods won his last eight events and hasn’t lost since September 3, 2007. In his characteristic nonchalent style, Woods wasn’t dwelling on his defeat. He was traveling to Orlando to compete in the Ryder-Cup style Tavistock Cup two-day event. As he told ESPN, “It’s going to be a long day.”
