Early life and amateur career

Professional career

In 1980, Ogrin turned professional. Ogrin played on the PGA Tour from 1983 to 1999. In over 500 starts, he had 32 top-10 finishes including a win at the 1996 LaCantera Texas Open. He also played on the Nationwide Tour where his best finish was a T-3 at the 1993 NIKE Connecticut Open

Ogrin joined the Champions Tour in 2008. His best finish is a T-24 at the 2009 Dick's Sporting Goods Open.

Personal life

Ogrin is a big fan of the Chicago Cubs; his son Clark Addison Ogrin was named after two streets near the Cubs' baseball stadium.
