US Open Champion Geoff Ogilvy
Summary
This year, Geoff Ogilvy has become a standout in the golf world by securing the prestigious US Open title. His victory sparked curiosity about his background: Who is Geoff Ogilvy and where did he come from?
Australian-born, Ogilvy now resides in Scottsdale, Arizona. His US Open win might have surprised some, but it marked his third PGA Tour triumph. Prior successes include the 2005 Chrysler Classic of Tucson and the 2006 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. These achievements propelled him into the elite World Top 10, reaching as high as eighth.
In the US Open, Ogilvy delivered an electrifying performance. He secured improbable pars on the final two holes, with a spectacular 30-foot chip on the 17th and a challenging six-foot downhill putt on the 18th. Phil Mickelson's late stumble, squandering a two-shot lead, also played a part in Ogilvy's win.
As the first Australian to clinch a major golf title in 11 years, since Steve Elkington's 1995 PGA Championship victory, the 29-year-old has been celebrated as a national hero in Australia.
According to Tony Hallam, CEO of Golf Australia, "The reaction from the Australian public and golf community to Geoff's achievement has been phenomenal. His victory is particularly significant for Australian golf and fans who were eager for a Major win after 11 years. This will undoubtedly inspire more young Australians to succeed in international sports."
Ogilvy turned professional in May 1998 and quickly secured a European Tour card at that year's Qualifying School. Competing on the European Tour in 1999 and 2000, he improved from 65th to 48th place over the two years. Moving to the PGA Tour in 2001, he consistently ranked in the top 100 for his first five seasons. His inaugural professional win was at the 2005 Chrysler Classic of Tucson, followed by a victory over Davis Love III in the 2006 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship final.
