MELBOURNE, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Geoff Ogilvy has rarely
been famous for losing control of his emotions, though credited an
"embarrassing" detriment of rage for assisting him assign into the
lead of his home Australian Masters after a third turn on
Saturday.
The former U.S. Open champion cut a undone figure on his
home march during Victoria Golf Club during Thursday's opening
round, and his dabble was a initial casualty.
Slamming it into his bag after a spook late in his first
round of level-par 71, he detected a dabble was focussed out of
shape, forcing him to putt a final dual holes with a wedge.
"You don't like doing things like that. It's not a first
time we have focussed a putter," Ogilvy told reporters after holding a
two-stroke lead over Britain's Ian Poulter with a course-record
equalling 63.
"It's not really good to get yourself into that frustration,
if we like. More than that, it's kind of annoying to finish
the final integrate of holes putting with a crowd or putting with
something other than your putter.
"But it happens. Golf is a frustrating game."
The deputy racket putter, one he had been previously
too frightened to use, valid an doubtful cure-all as it pulled him
back in row with a second-round 66 and propelled him into
a winning position on Saturday.
"I have trafficked with this dabble indeed for, we don't
know, 3 or 4 months. I've only had it in a bag," the
moustachioed Ogilvy told reporters after his nine-birdie,
one-eagle round.
"I took it out on a use turn in a Australian Open
because we wanted to use it, and wasn't dauntless adequate and put it
back in.
"Obviously this week we had a ideal event to try it
yesterday and today. So it's apparently left really well.
"I don't consider any dabble is any improved than any other
putter... though we consider we get wearied of looking during a same
thing. Your mind likes to demeanour during something new."
Ogilvy stands on a margin of a drought-breaking feat in
front of home fans after a winless year of disappointment on the
U.S. Tour, injured by unbroken injuries.
Victory will be all a some-more honeyed for a 34-year-old
Australian, who will quarrel with Poulter during a march where he
has been a member given his youth days.
