CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Professional golfer Joe Ogilvie was charged with driving while impaired after a traffic stop before this week's Wachovia Championship.

Police spokesman Keith Bridges said Ogilvie was stopped for speeding early Wednesday morning, and the officer smelled alcohol. Ogilvie failed a field sobriety test and was taken into custody before posting bond.

He shot a 1-over 73 Friday in the second round to match his score from a day earlier.
