Ogilvie Closes In On Leaders
Bob Hope Classic Golf Tournament
Jan. 24th, 2010
La Quinta, CA- Joe Ogilvie finds himself two shots back from tournament leaders Bubba Watson and Alex Prugh, who sit at 23-under par after 4 days in the Bob Hope Classic Golf Tournament. Ogilvie made double-bogey on the par 4 17th at La Quinta Country Club, when he and his caddie supposedly misjudged the yardage on the basically straight-away 420 yard hole.
Check out the 17th at La Quinta CC, and you decide what would be the smart play.
Q. (When asked about how he played today.)
JOE OGILVIE: Normally when you shoot 4 under you’re not too disappointed, but I’m fairly hot right now. I double bogeyed the 17th hole due to stupidity. I finished 4 under and it should have been 6 under.
Q. (When asked about his goal for the day.)
JOE OGILVIE: My goal was to shoot 10 under here (at La Quinta Country Club) and at SilverRock, and I shot 8 under, so I’m not that far off. I need about 8 under tomorrow and it’s out there.
Q. (On the double bogey on 17.)
JOE OGILVIE: We didn’t know the yards to the trees. We guessed and my caddie was 30 yards off. I should have hit 3 wood instead of driver. I hit it right and had to draw the ball hard around a tree from there and I hit it OB.
I had uncertainty on the tee and it’s a mistake to hit driver when you’re not confident of your through line and you’re not confident standing there.
I was OB on my second shot and I deserved to be OB. I hadn’t made a bogey in a long time and you can’t have double bogeys and win the Hope.
