Australian Geoff Ogilvy sailed home to a 5-under-par 68 for a six-stroke victory in the final round of the season-opening Mercedes-Benz Championship in Kapalua Hawaii. It was the fifth PGA Tour victory for Ogilvy, who won the U.S. Open in 2006. He finished at 24-under 268, earned $1.12 million and will move up to No. 6 in the world ranking.

Ogilvy joined Ernie Els of South Africa and Vijay Singh of Fiji as wire-to-wire winners at Kapalua since the tournament moved here in 1999.

Anders Hansen of Denmark won the Joburg Open for his third career European Tour title. He had a birdie on the final hole for a 5-under 66 and a one-stroke victory over Andrew McLardy of South Africa in Johannesburg, South Africa. Hansen finished with a 15-under 269 total.

Japan's Toru Taniguchi routed Sweden's Niclas Fasth 7 and 6, helping Asia beat Europe 10-6 in Bangkok, Thailand, for its first victory in three tries in the Royal Trophy.
