EXCLUSIVE
GEOFF OGILVY TALKS TO GOLF DIGEST SINGAPORE

Don't let the calm demeanour of the World No.5 golfer deceive you. Geoff Ogilvy is all fight when it comes to it. How else can you explain a Major win at the 2006 U.S. Open, and two WGC-Accenture Match Play titles if not for the inner strength and resolve of the sweet swinger from Down Under? As an ambassador for PUMA Golf, and playing Cobra clubs with the Titleist ProV1 ball, Ogilvy has stayed at the top echelon of golf in the last three years, and there is no sign that he is relinquishing his top-ten world ranking anytime soon.

Golf Digest Singapore got the opportunity to have a one-on-one with the down-to-earth Australian recently to find out about the state of his game and life after winning a Major.

Hear what the World No. 5 has to say about golf and life after winning the 2007 U.S. Open.

ON GOLF

1. You have already won two tournaments (Mercedes Benz Championship and Accenture Match Play Championship) in 2009, have never missed the cut, and is currently number one on the money list. You must be satisfied with your performance so far. Tell us your thoughts on the state of your game.
2. At the recent Memorial Tournament, you had a flawless third round that put you in serious contention going into Sunday. Can you share on what happened during the final round?
3. You won the US Open in 2007. How did that feel?
4. Has your life changed after winning a Major?
5. Now that you’ve won one, do you approach Majors from a different perspective?
6. You are currently Australia’s most prominent player on the best Tour in the world. What advice can you give players from outside Europe and the US if they wish to emulate your success?
7. In your opinion, did your success come because of your playing opportunities in Australia/Asia, or in spite of it?

ON PUMA GOLF

8. Is there something about Puma Golf that got you to endorse their products?
9. Does Puma Golf's design philosophy reflect your personality in any way?

ON ASIA AND SINGAPORE

11. Have you visited or played in Singapore?
12. Are you planning to visit us, and perhaps play in the Barclay's Singapore Open?

ON PERSONAL LIFE

13. Golf is something you must be passionate about, but what does Geoff Ogilvy do in between tournaments? What can you tell us about yourself that most of your fans might not know?
14. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you won the US Open, your wife was expecting your first child. Has fatherhood changed you as a professional golfer and as a person?
