Geoff Ogilvy tried swinging the cut-down club of his 2-year-old son in the hotel room. He moved out to the balcony to try a regular club, and the results were not much better. Three days after gouging his right index finger on a coral reef at the beach, the two-time defending champion had no choice Thursday but to withdraw from the Tournament of Champions. "It's just a shame," Ogilvy said. "It's a treat to play here because it's just the guys who won last year. It's just a place I like to play. The longer you play, you gravitate to the ones you like playing. And to miss out on that chance is a big part of the disappointment."
