OGILVY ON THE RISE

OGILVY ON THE RISE


Geoff Ogilvy is up to fourth in the world after capturing the WGC-Accenture Match Play title for a second time.

The Australian improves four places after beating England's Paul Casey 4&3 in the 36-hole final in Tucson.

Victory would have taken Casey into the top 10 for the first time in his career, but he still climbs 10 spots to 13th.

The pair are also now first and second on the European Tour's "Race To Dubai" money list, new leader Ogilvy having joined the circuit this season.
