KAPALUA, Hawaii — Geoff Ogilvy had never been six shots ahead in a PGA Tour event, an experience that left him searching for the right words to describe some of his emotions in the final round of the Mercedes-Benz Championship.

"Not angry, just frustrated," Ogilvy said. "Is there a difference between angry and frustrated?"

He said this with a smile late Sunday afternoon, because he had just started the 2009 season in style with a wire-to-wire victory on the Plantation course at Kapalua, where he closed with a 5-under 68 to match his worst score of the week.

Ogilvy watched a six-shot lead shrink to one over the hard-charging Anthony Kim until he pulled himself together with one great swing and one timely putt, leading to an eagle that set him on his way.
