MARANA, Arizona: Geoff Ogilvy enhanced his status in the game by clinching his sixth PGA Tour title with a commanding 4&3 victory over Britain's Paul Casey in Sunday's final of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Three up after dominating the morning round, the Australian world No 8 covered the first nine holes of the afternoon in five-under 31 before sealing the win with a birdie at the par-four 33rd.
It was Ogilvy's third World Golf Championships (WGC) title, following his successes in the 2006 Accenture Match Play Championship and last year's CA Championship in Miami, and lifted him to fourth in the world rankings yesterday.
