This gets underway tomorrow at the Sandhurst Club in
Melbourne, where 76 golfers will battle it out over four rounds for around 40
Tour cards. There are 10 New Zealanders
in the field: Nick Gillespie, Campbell Rawson, Lachie McDonald, Mathew Perry,
James Beale, Tae Koh, Harry Bateman, Daniel Pearce, Luke Toomey and Fraser
Wilkin. They are up against a tough
field including many seasoned Australian players, on a course that is sure to
be set up to test the best.
Good luck to all of our players – a high placing will help
them in the run through to the NZ PGA Championship, the NZ Open, and other PGA
Tour of Australasia events in the coming weeks.
