Ogilvy has become big-game player

Like Chris Carter in football, who Buddy Ryan once comically condescendingly said ``only catches touchdowns,'' Geoff Ogilvy only wins big tournaments. The 31-year-old Australian only has seven victories worldwide. Three are World Golf Championship events and one is the 2006 U.S. Open. He's building an impressive yet enigmatic resume. He's won the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship twice and is the defending champion of next week's WGC-CA Championship. His only other victories are January's winners-only Mercedes-Benz Championship, the 2005 Tucson Open, and the 2008 Australian PGA. Ogilvy's three WGC titles are second only to Tiger Woods' 15 wins. Woods (15), Ogilvy (3) and Darren Clarke (2) are the only players to win multiple WGCs. Four of Ogilvy's wins have come with Woods in the field, making him the youngest player with that distinction. Don't take him in the office pool at the John Deere, but watch out at April's Masters.
