It took three days to complete his two rounds, but Geoff Ogilvy is off to a solid start to the 2011 season. He followed his first round 67 with six birdies and one bogey for a second round 66. Ogilvy has not played this year since cutting his finger at the season opener in Hawaii. He described the injury in his pre-tournament presser.
“I cut myself on the reef in Maui. I had 12 stitches in my finger and it's right on the inside of my right index finger, so it's in a very annoying spot for a right-handed golfer. It's right where the club hits the thing, so it was still sensitive -- it's still a little bit sensitive, but it's like a bad callus now as opposed to a legitimate cut if that makes sense. I had stitches in for two weeks, got them out, and it looked a bit gruesome after the stitches because I lost the top layer of skin. You know when you have a cut it goes through periods of looking great and then bad and then great and then bad, but it's back and I've been hitting balls the last two or three days and it feels like I'm hitting it like I was when I arrived in Hawai'i.”
The finger is more likely to hold up than his T3 as some players haven’t even started their second round yet.
