2009 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship

2009 WGC-Accenture World Match Play golf championship
The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club - Dove Mountain
Feb. 25-March 1

Come February the eyes of golf will fall on Southern Arizona. The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain is the home of the World Golf Championships - Accenture Match Play Championship. The world's top 64 golfers will try to etch their names in the history book of this exciting tournament. Billed as the cornerstone of the World Golf Championships, the five-day tournament will take place in Marana - just north of Tucson - Feb. 23 - Mar. 1, and feature some of the largest purses
in professional golf. First prize money is in excess of $1 million.

The course is a 27-hole expedition through dense desert-mountain foothills, with roomy landing areas, strategically placed fairway bunkers and a handful of forced carries. But the real fun comes on the greens, which deliver intricate interior contouring rather than the sharper-edged broad levels that Jack favored too many times in years past. The Match Play will be contested over the Saguaro and Tortolia nines.

The WGC Accenture Match Play Championship is part of the World Golf Championships series of tournaments. This event is played at match play, rather than stroke play, and begins with a field of 64 golfers. The players knock each other off until two remain for the 36-hole championship match. Past champions include Jeff Maggert, Darren Clarke, Steve Stricker,
Kevin Sutherland, and 2007 winner and defending champion here in 2008 - Henrik Stenson.

The World Golf Championships were developed to enhance the competitive structure of professional golf worldwide while preserving the traditions and strengths of the individual tours and their events. The Asian PGA joined the International Federation of PGA Tours as a full-fledged member in November 1999. In March 2000, the Canadian Tour was added as an Associate Member. The World Golf Championships have been conducted on five different continents.

2009 WGC Accenture Results

Geoff Ogilvy won the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship for the second time in four years with a 4-and-3 victory over Paul Casey of England to stake his claim Sunday as the best in the world at match play.

In a relentless performance at Dove Mountain, the 31-year-old Australian did not trail over the final 62 holes of the tournament and did not have a bogey on his card over the last 57 holes.

He took the lead with a 6-foot birdie on the first hole of a 36-hole title match, and never gave Casey a chance. Ogilvy had a 3-up lead after the morning round, then shot 31 on the front nine to pull away.

A tournament that began with so much buzz over the return of Tiger Woods ended with a newfound appreciation for the match-play prowess of Ogilvy, who ran his career record to 18-3 in this fickle format.

Tiger Woods scorched the high desert Sunday, roaring like a wildfire across the Gallery Club at Dove Mountain with a phenomenal display of golf, incinerating Stewart Cink, winning the Accenture Match Play Championship and setting his sights on higher ground.

His 8-and-7 victory over Cink in the final, the largest margin in the history of the event, concluded an astonishing week of match play. Woods won six matches, twice escaped imminent elimination and made 47 birdies and 2 eagles in 117 holes. With his fourth consecutive PGA Tour win and sixth straight worldwide, he rekindled speculation that he could be embarking on a perfect season. More Golf Accenture Results Click Here!
