Geoff Ogilvy felt his game was still sharp after winning in Australia last month. It must have been for him to play bogey-free Thursday and beat his best score at Kapalua by five shots.
Accentuating the positive (opportunities are so rare), I begin by casually reminding I nailed Arizona's upset of Atlanta last week. Also got Philly right. Missed the Dolphins pick, which by now may go without saying. The bigger disappointment was Indy at San Diego. I'd mentioned a ''persisting hunch'' in favor of the home 'dogs in that one but let logic override gut, picking Colts to my subsequent regret. We move on.
