2005 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic Ogilvie Remains on Top at Bob Hope By Sports Network - January 28, 2005 LA QUINTA, Calif. -- Joe Ogilvie carded a 6-under 66 at Tamarisk on Friday to remain in the lead after the third round of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. He stands at 23-under-par 193 and is two clear of Peter Lonard. Ogilvie matched Joe Durant's 2001, 54-hole record at 193. Durant cruised to victory that year and in the process, established a new PGA Tour record for lowest score in relation to par at 36 under par. Peter Lonard is trying to improve upon his poor finish at last week's Buick Invitational."I'm very pleased," said Ogilvie, who is winless on the PGA Tour. "I'll be in good shape. I'm happy where I am. We'll see what happens." Lonard fired a 64 at Tamarisk and is alone in second at 21-under-par 195. Fredrik Jacobson, who shared second place after Thursday's second round, posted a 67 at Tamarisk and owns third place at minus-19. The format for this five-day tournament is a pro-am as one professional plays with three amateurs. They split the action over four courses (the Palmer Private Course at PGA West, Bermuda Dunes Country Club, Tamarisk Country Club and La Quinta Country Club) throughout the first four rounds, then play the Palmer Course on Sunday. Ryuji Imada and Jerry Kelly each carded 8-under 64s at Bermuda Dunes and share fourth place with Robert Damron, who shot a 68 at the Palmer Course. The trio is knotted at 17-under-par 199. They all will be trying to catch Ogilvie, whose 66 on Friday was his highest round of the tournament. He opened on the back nine at Tamarisk and broke into red figures at the par-5 12th. Ogilvie reached the middle of the green with a 3-wood and two-putted from 20 feet for birdie. Ogilvie went on a birdie run to close out his first nine. He sank an 18-footer for birdie at 15, a 25-footer at 16, an 18-footer at 17, and polished off his front nine with a 12-foot birdie putt at the par-5 last. Ogilvie's closing stretch of birdies gave him a 5-under 31, but was all due to the flat stick. "I easily could have shot 37 instead of 31," admitted Ogilvie.
