2010 SBS Golf Championship
Geoff Ogilvy returns to Kapalua to earn the SBS Championship Trophy
A year after winning by six shots, Ogilvy made up a 2-shot deficit over his final 10 holes with smart decisions and flawless golf for a 6-under 67 and a 1-shot victory over Rory Sabbatini, making him only the second repeat winner at Kapalua.
Ogilvy posted his eighth consecutive round in the 60s at Kapalua and joined Stuart Appleby, a fellow Australian, as the only players to win in consecutive years since the winners-only season opener moved to Kapalua in 1999. Appleby won three straight years. Only five other players have won back-to-back in the 58 years of this event.
Ogilvy finished at 22-under 270 and moved back into the top 10 in the world with his seventh career PGA Tour victory. The first place prize to Ogilvy this week totals $1,012,000 out of a total purse of $5,600,000.
The top 10 leaderboader finishers were —
- Geoff Ogilvy
- Rory Sabbatini
- Matt Kuchar
- Sean O'Hair
- Martin Laird
- Kenny Perry
- Retief Goosen
- Ryan Moore
- Stewart Cink
- Steve Stricker
