Geoff Ogilvy has become the sixth Australian to win on the PGA TOUR in 2014.

Ogilvy this morning won the Barracuda Championship, the PGA TOUR’s only modified stableford tournament, by five points.

This win becomes Ogilvy’s first since the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in January 2010 and puts an end to an indifferent three years where since 2012, including this win, he has recorded just three top-10 finishes.

The win is Ogilvy’s eighth career PGA TOUR title.

For Ogilvy, the benefits of the victory are far reaching and include securing his status on the PGA TOUR through the 2015-2016 season and ensuring his place in the lucrative playoff series which begins in three weeks.

However it also sees the former U.S. Open Champion into the field for the year’s final Major, the PGA Championship which tees off next week.

Ogilvy takes the Aussie contingent set to take on the Valhalla Golf Club next week to seven.

He will join fellow 2014 PGA TOUR winners Adam Scott, Jason Day, John Senden, Matt Jones and Steven Bowditch in the field with an inform Marc Leishman rounding out the Australians.

While Aussie golf is on a high with Ogilvy’s win it unfortunately says goodbye to claiming the World Number 1 player.

With Rory McIlroy winning the World Golf Championships – Bridgestone Invitational, Scott has been relegated to the World Number 2 position despite his own top-10 finish.

However Scott can regain the top spot as early as next week with a good performance at the PGA Championship.

Marc Leishman continued his great form finishing outright third at the WGC – Bridgestone which comes on the back of his T5 finish at The Open Championship.
