AMATEUR GOLFHONG, PURCELL WIN AUSTRALIAN AMATEUR TITLES

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

EDITOR-IN-CHIEFAnthony Powter

American Adam Long birdied the final hole at La Quinta to win the Desert Classic by a shot from Adam Hadwin and Phil Mickelson in just his sixth start on the PGA Tour.

Long gained his PGA Tour card via the Web.com Tour last season and he has already made the very most of the op-portunity. Firing a superb 6-iron to the closing hole at La Quinta, he then holed the 8 metre birdie putt to secure his maiden tour victory.

Tiger Woods will make his 2019 debut this week at the Farmers insurance Open at Torrey Pines, the venue where he’s won eight of his 80 PGA Tour titles, including his last major championship, the US Open.

Having celebrated his 43rd birthday on 30th December, Woods is almost a generation older than the field yet, the 14-time major winner brings drama and action to the game which is sorely needed.

When Woods won the Tour Championship last September, television ratings were up 200% from the previous year and the last round was the third most watched golf telecast of the year.

Locally, the NSW Amateur is being contested on Sydney Northern Beaches with a strong international presence. In-ternationals in recent times have claimed the Men’s and Women’s titles, yet this might be the year the locals shine.

Three shots off the lead overnight, the 31-year-old, in only his sixth tour event, card-ed a bogey-free seven-under-par 65 to finish on 26 under, a stroke ahead of veteran Phil Mickelson.Mickelson had led the event since shooting a career best 12-under 60 on the opening day and was two shots ahead going into the fi-nal round, but he missed some short putts in his 69 to tie for second with Canada’s Adam Hadwin.“I’m in pretty disbelief right now, I don’t really know what happened,” said an elated Long.“I had nothing to lose. In some ways it’s been a little bit of a roller-coaster, but it’s been a

steady improvement throughout my career. I’ve played in pretty much most tours around the world that there are and just kind of steadily progressed. It kind of can seem like it came out of nowhere, but my game’s been trending in the right direction for really the last two years now.”Until the Desert Classic, Long was ranked 205th in the FedEx Cup standings and hadn’t put together a win since claiming the Wood-creek Classic on the now-defunct Hooters Tour.In Long’s four previous starts this season on the PGA Tour he made money just once fin-ishing T63 at the Safeway Open and banking US$13,568. His paycheck on Sunday was just a little over US$1.062 million.Any wonder Long was ecstatic when his long 8-metre putt dropped on the final hole to pip Mickelson.Yet Long had set out his intentions early

with two birdies on the first two holes as he reached the turn on three under. Two further birdies on the 14th and 15th pushed Long into contention but the putt on the 18th seal-ing the deal.Long opened with a 63 on PGA West’s Nick-laus Tournament Course, shot 71 on Friday at the Stadium layout and had another 63 on Saturday at La Quinta to get into the final group with Mickelson and Hadwin.Talor Gooch carded the best score of the day with a 64 to finish fourth.Aaron Baddeley was the best of the Aussies firing a final day 65 to jump 40 spots up the leaderboard to finish in a tie for 18th position.Cameron Davis finsihed at 15-under-par for a share of 28th while Curtis Luck dropped 24 places with a final round 75 to share 70th position.Matt Jones, John Senden and Rod Pampling missed the weekend.

Golfers can influence shot shape a lot or a little by po-sitioning the weight at different points on the track.Consumers have a choice of three premi-um stock shaft options: Project X EvenFlow (Standard Only), Project X HZRDUS Smoke (Standard/Sub Zero) and Mitsubishi Tensei

AV (Standard/Sub Zero).

Lowry led from start-to-finish to secure a fourth European Tour victory in birding the final hole in a closing round of 71 in windy conditions and win by a stroke at 18-under par from South African Richard Sterne (69).Lowry’s victory, his first since the 2015 WGC – Bridgestone Invitational, will see the 31-year old jump from 75th on the World Rank-ings and into possibly 40th and with the very likely assurance of returning to Augusta Na-tional in April.Lowry went into the final day leading by one but found himself four shots behind Sterne

LOWRY BREAKS DROUGHT TO CLAIM ABU DHABI HSBC TITLE

who went out in 31 but opened the door for Lowry with bogeys at 14 and 16.Lowry played his outward nine in one-over thanks to just two birdies but also three bo-geys and then dropped another shot at 11 before remarably birdieing the tricky par-3 12th hole for a fourth day running.He then birdied 13 and when Sterne bogeyed the par-4 16th the duo found themselves heading down the last tied for the lead on 17-under only for Sterne to play a poor sec-ond shot and then for Lowry to two-putt for birdie.Lowry returned to Abu Dhabi for the first oc-casion in five years after the bitter disappoint-ment last August of losing his PGA Tour card. He spent close to a fortnight working on his game in nearby Dubai and the hard work paid off with the Irishman firing an equal course record 62.“I’m just over the moon to have won again,

and you don’t know, like, you look at — I think you look at Westy and Danny Willett at the back end of last season and you see what they did and they came back — like you don’t know when you’re going to win again. It’s so hard to win out here,” said Lowry.And spare a thought for Rory McIlroy as McIl-roy has been runner-up in Abu Dhabi on no fewer than five occasions and in the year he chooses not to contest the tournament an-other Irishman in Lowry steps-up to accept victory.Jason Scrivener continued his run of good form on the European Tour last season fin-ishing in a tie for 16th on 9-under. Scott Hend was next best of the Aussies on 7-under with Sam Brazel (T45) and Lucas Hebert (T54) rounding out the field that made it through to the weekend.Min Woo Lee missed the cut in his first outing as a pro following rounds of 72 and 73.

The 23-year-old arrived in Singapore on the back of a rich vein of form to establish him-self as one of the genuine contenders for the prestigious SMBC Singapore Open trophy at the start of the week.

He did not disappoint as he shrugged off the challenges of a host of quality players includ-ing Sergio Garcia, Paul Casey and Davis Love

JAZZ HOLDS OFF CASEY, GARCIA IN SINGAPORE OPEN WIN

Thailand’s Jazz Janewattananond (Titleist Pro V1x) found his winning rhythm when he closed with a six-un-der-par 65 to take home the SMBC Singapore Open trophy for his third Asian Tour title and also seal his pas-sage to The Open on Sunday.

III to become the third Thai after Thaworn Wiratchant (2001) and Prayad Marksaeng (2017) to lift his third Asian Tour title with a winning total of 18-under-par 266.

Casey surmounted a strong challenge by signing for a 65 but it was never going to be enough to catch Jazz, who was unstoppable on the Sunday afternoon at the Sentosa Golf Club.

The Englishman had to settle for a share of second place alongside overnight leader Ja-pan’s Yoshinori Fujimoto, a two-time winner on the Japan Tour.

England’s Matthew Fitzpatrick, who was mak-ing his debut at the SMBC Singapore Open, closed with a 69 to take outright fourth place while Thailand’s Promm Meesawat and Ko-

rea’s Doyeob Mun share not only fifth place but will also make their way together to Roy-al Portrush in July.

The 2019 SMBC Singapore Open was part of The Open Qualifying Series for the third con-secutive year where the leading four players (not otherwise exempt) who finish in the top-12 and ties on the final leaderboard will earn coveted spots at the 148th Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland from July 18-21.

Jake Higginbottom and Won Joon Lee took out the top honours for the Australians in the field, finishing in a tie for 18th place at 5-un-der. Travis Smyth was another shot back in a tie for 24th.

The NSW Women’s and Men’s Am-ateur Championships are underway this week at Terry Hills Country Club and Mona Vale Golf Club on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

The NSW Medal is played over two courses. It is two rounds of 18-holes stroke play, played over two days. The field is evenly divided be-tween the two venues for the first day with players changing venues for their second round. The winner of the 36 holes stroke play section of the Championship is the winner of the NSW Medal and the top-32 men qualifi-ers proceed to the match play championship.

The leading 16 women players from the Stroke Play Championship will be eligible to compete in the NSW Amateur Championship

Match Play with both the men’s and women’s titles being contested over a 36 hole final at Terry Hills Country Club on Friday.

The Men’s championship has produced a strong mixture of Australian and internation-al players doing battle.

Local Nathan Barbieri (pictured) will be look-ing to go one better than his runner up finish last week at the Australian Amateur where he was pipped on the first playoff hole by Irishman Connor Purcell.

Barbieri is one of a number of marquee NSW player in the lineup that includes, to name a few, Jordan Garner, Blake Windred, Harrison Crowe, Jye Pickin and Josh Armstrong.

There are also a number of English interna-tionals competing including Benjamin Jones,

Keep an eye out also for Canada’s Joey Savoie who scored an albatross on the West Course at Royal Melbourne during the recent Aus-tralian Master of the Amateurs before secur-ing a top-6th finish.

Savoie is Canada’s top-ranked amateur and made the quarter finals last year in this event and has claimed a number of titles including the 2017 Tailhade Cup, 2018 Tennessee State Open and was co-medallist at the 2018 US Amateur qualifying.

In the women’s championship Doey Choi, Grace Kim, and Stephanie Kyriacou - a win-ner two weeks ago at the Australian Master of the Amateurs at Royal Melbourne - head up the Aussie contingent along with Kelsey Bennett.

A strong international presence sees players from South Korea, England, Japan, France and New Zealand in the field.

These championships tend to deliver a inter-national feel with many of the past winners being internationals. England has dominat-ed the men’s title for the last few years and South Korea has been successful in the wom-en’s championship.

Last year England’s Gian-Marco Petrozzi and Korea’s Ina Yoon won in a thrilling final day at Royal Canberra Golf Club against Aussies Jed Morgan and Doey Choi.

In 2017 at Terrey Hills Country Club, En-gland’s Scott Gregory defeated fellow coun-tryman, Marco Penge, 1-up, and in the wom-en’s final Somi Lee secured the title in a tight match against her Korean counterpart Hye Jin Choi, 2&1.

Apex is the ultimate forged players dis-tance iron, and it stands alone for its premi-um craftsmanship and amazing sound and feel. This is an exceptional new multi-piece construction that lives up to the Apex stan-dard for performance.

And it’s precision engineered to deliver an unmatched forged design, with innovative ball speed technology, and optimal ball flight and trajectory.

Extremely soft feel comes from a forged 1025 mild carbon steel body, and for the first time ever Callaway utilised their pro-prietary urethane microspheres in a forged iron. The forged carbon steel body provides the amazing Apex sound and feel that golf-ers love, and the urethane microspheres in-

The advanced MIM’D Tungsten Weighing further enhances scoring performance, al-lowing the company to precisely locate the

CG position in each iron while maintaining the flexibility of the Face Cup for optimum launch and control.

And all of this innovative performance tech-nology is crafted into a beautiful progres-sive shaping, with a new platinum chrome finish, and premium components.

The Callaway Apex 19 Irons are priced at AUD$259.99 (NZ$319.99) for steel and AUD$279.99 (NZ$339.99) for graphite shafts and will be available in Australia and New Zealand from January 25, 2019.

Apex 19 Hybrids will also be available from January 25th and will be priced at AUD$419.99 (NZ$499.99).

As far as Callaway Golf is concerned, it’s about making the game more en-joyable – and playable – around the world.

At age 38, Scott now admits his golf is all about major championships...and being ready for them.So if that means missing World Golf Champi-onship events this season to prepare for the majors, then that’s the way it will be.“That’s really the measure of a career in this game,” said Scott as he prepared for last weekend’s Sony Hawaiian Open, where he missed the cut.“It’s always been about the process of getting there. You don’t just show up and win majors randomly, or not multiple majors randomly.”“Maybe it can happen once...you can luck into one, but not multiple majors.”While Scott has not completely dismissed competing in the WGC events, it’s simply that they are not as high on his list of priorities as the majors.“In the end, I just kind of took the simple ap-proach and thought I’ll just play the ones I like and that make sense to play,” he said.“Any inconvenience, whether it’s a big tour-nament or not — I don’t know how everyone can define a big tournament differently — but at the moment I have not scheduled a World Golf Championship because they don’t fall in the right weeks for me.”Scott has always been keen to experiment to find the right “mix” to contend in the majors.At one stage the Queensland star was using Tiger Woods’ former bagman Steve Williams to caddie solely for the weeks of the four ma-jor events.Yet a second major has continued to elude Scott whose world ranking has now slumped to No. 42.

And one of the world’s biggest golf equipment suppliers took another major step towards achieving just that last week by signing on as the official partner for the world’s sec-ond-biggest golf circuit, the European Tour, for the next five years.In a major coup for the company, Callaway become the official driver, golf ball, shoe and golf bag brand for the European Tour.It also means Odyssey becomes the official putter and OGIO the official luggage brand for the Tour as well.Callaway Apparel, plus the new-to-Europe Travis Mathew brand will also be the official on-course apparel for the European circuit.Even Callaway’s market-leading Chrome Soft golf balls will be used on driving ranges at European Tour events. According to Callaway Golf Europe’s presi-dent and managing director Neil Howie se-

curing such a deal aligned their own compa-ny’s business goals with the Tour.

“Callaway continues to enjoy a very strong and loyal following among players on the Eu-ropean Tour, Odyssey has been the number one brand for more than 10 years and Rogue Drivers were the number one model in play across 2018,” said Howie.

“We are excited about the impact of our re-cently-launched Epic Flash family.

“We also look forward to the many tourna-ment, broadcast and content opportunities that this new partnership will bring.”

Callaway also plans to drive awareness of Od-yssey, the No. 1 putter in golf, through a ‘put-ting leaderboard’ on TV broadcasts, which will showcase a new range of performance statistics at each European Tour event.

And as part of the Official Partnership, Cal-laway will collaborate with the European Tour’s digital channels to create new content strands featuring the Callaway brands, prod-ucts and their Staff Professionals.

That’s assuming Augusta officials, who some-times have their own agenda on how the game should be played, will let him.And at this stage it appears players will be allowed to putt with the pins in when the first major of the year begins on April 11, US time.Certainly that question was put to Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley during last week’s Latin America Amateur Champion-ship, and at least Ridley didn’t say no.The golfing landscape has changed, quite dramatically, since January 1 when, under the new Rules of Golf, players are allowed to leave the flagstick in while putting.According to a report on The Golf Channel, with Augusta’s slick and sloped putting sur-faces presenting such a challenge for play-ers, it’s possible, even likely, that a player could save multiple shots using the pin as a backstop. Addressing the possibility of Augusta Nation-al going against the Rules of Golf during Mas-ters week, Ridley first preached a message of “consistency” at the game’s highest levels.“We will, as we always do, collaborate with the governing bodies,” said Ridley.“We will talk about those local rules and con-ditions that will be implemented.“We think it’s important that there be some consistency in top championship golf...and so you should expect that the Masters Tour-nament.”

We know it’s one of his favourites...because he’s won there seven times.

It is hardly surprising that former Qld Origin rugby league star and now Fox Sports com-mentator Ben Ikin can also handle a golf club pretty well.Indeed Ikin’s handicap has been dropping at a rate of knots, to the point where he is likely to tee it up in next month’s $150,000 Coca-Co-la Qld PGA Championship.Ikin was issued an invitation to contest the event against some of Australia’s best pros, providing his handicap was 2.4 or less.While he was playing off a competitive seven at the time, Ikin didn’t hesitate to head for PGA teaching professional Matthew Guyatt with one directive – ‘get my handicap low enough to compete when the event begins at Toowoomba on February 21’.“My role with Fox Sports has fortunately al-lowed me to play golf quite frequently over the years,” said Ikin.“I’ve become a member of Indooroopilly Golf Club and Golf Central at Brisbane Airport and with such fantastic facilities at both venues I have never needed much convincing to get some practice in.”To help him reach the required handicap, Ikin believed the best way to improve his score was to work with a PGA Professional.“I knew I couldn’t get there on my own so I linked up with Matt Guyatt and it was the smartest thing I did,” added Ikin.“I encourage everyone to seek out their local PGA Professional because quality advice is critical if you hope to improve your game.”Ikin’s handicap is now 1.7 and he’s champing at the bit to test it out against the big guns.

“Funnily enough I was more nervous on the first tee this morning than I was going down the playoff hole – I felt quite comfortable still because I’d been playing well all week.”

The victory is Purcell’s first international title having finished runner up at the 2018 Scottish Open Amateur and the Dublin based golfer had also reached the semi-finals of the 2018 British Amateur championship.

Hong’s victory made it three Korean win-

ners of the women’s Australian Amateur in the past four years in a sign of domination from the country in our national title. Hong accounted for Japan’s Tsubasa Kajitani, 3&2.

The best performance from an Australian was Stephanie Bunque, who made it through to the semi-final before Hong ended her cham-pionship 1-up.

Both winners have received exemptions into the Victorian Open, with Hong also claiming a spot in the Women’s Australian Open in Ad-elaide and Purcell a start in Australian Open in Sydney.

His swing might not be the envy of every golfer in the world yet South Korean Ho-Sung Choi is already a world-wide golfing sensation.

High-profile golf analyst Brandel Chamblee suggests most professionals will be leaving the flag in the hole when they putt on the US Tour - by the end of the season.

While most pros are still ‘experimenting’ and indeed, arguing about the pros and cons of the new rule, it seems Italian pro Edoardo Molinari decided to try some serious tests of his own.

Molinari, the elder brother of British Open champion Francesco, received some mixed results when he enlisted the assistance of three professionals from his golf academy in Italy to try out both methods.

The three used a Perfect Putter, a training

MOLINARI’S FLAGSTICK EXPERIMENT

And news that the 45-year-old with the “fish-erman’s swing” will again have fans world-wide tuning in to watch him play the upcom-ing AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.Few golf fans have missed the You Tube vid-eos of Choi launching himself after some of his drives on the Japan Tour.Now, thanks to a sponsor’s invitation, Choi’s unorthodox chase after hitting the ball will be on full display at such famous courses as Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Monterey Peninsula Country Cub from February 7-10 when the ever-smiling Asian makes his US PGA Tour debut.And while it might bring a smile to some of his fellow player’s lips, they would be foolish to take Choi too lightly.That’s because he already has three world-wide wins, including several theatrical swings as he secured last year’s Casio World Open in Japan.And for the few of you who have missed it and haven’t already typed in You Tube, to check him out, on his follow-through, Choi

lifts his right foot completely off the ground and swings it around his body before using one of several different finishing moves.

Currently ranked 200th in the world, Choi ad-mitted to the Korean media that he felt this day would never come.

“I took up golf at the age of 25, after a hard life,” he said.

“I’m fully aware that none of this would be possible without the love and support of my fans.”

It seems an on-line petition had been set up to try and get Choi a start in the Waste Man-agement Phoenix Open.

Yet AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament director Steve John got the ball rolling.

“His swing is pretty awesome — it’s going to be a fun story,” said John.

“You think about what Bing Crosby started in 1937 (with this event), and it was about getting together with Hollywood friends and having a good time.

“This guy has a good time playing golf. It’s a good fit for our tournament.”

aid that ensures you get the same speed and line, in the experiment, which consisted of three different speeds (slow, medium and fast).

They also took three different lines (centre, touching the flagstick, and grazing the flag-stick).

According to Molinari, who’s a three-time Eu-ropean Tour winner, the three pros did 100 putts of each combination.

And the results will probably leave you just as confused as you were before the new rule came in on January 1, 2019.

For slow speed putts, it seems there is no difference whether you leave the flagstick in or take it out;

For medium speed putts it appears to be bet-ter to take the flagstick out and for high-speed putts it appears to give you better results if you leave the flagstick in.

Confused? Well, you’ll just have to make the call whether you’re a ‘high-speed’ putter or a ‘lagger’.

No doubt there will be more tests carried out during the course of the year as previously to the new rule coming into play the only one to conduct any serious flag-in-or-out tests was US putting guru Dave Pelz – and that was way back in 1990.

For the record, Pelz’s tests concluded you should always leave the flagstick in, assum-ing it’s not slanted in one direction.

He suggested the stick proved a perfect back-stop that slowed down a ball and allowed gravity more of a chance to pull it into the hole.

Let’s face it...everyone changes a bit in 10 years...and golf pros are cer-tainly no exception.

The Australasian Tour is already reaping the benefits of having a major champion like Geoff Ogilvy moving back to Australia and commit-ting to more and more ‘local’ events.Now the 2006 US Open champion has con-firmed he will compete in the 100th New Zealand Open in Queenstown from February 28-March 3.At one stage Ogilvy’s ranking reached No. 3 in the world so the 41-year-old will certainly attract a following when he tees it up in just his second New Zealand Open at the revered layouts The Hills and Millbrook Resorts.Ogilvy has made the decision to move his family home to Melbourne after two decades based in the US.“The New Zealand Open is seen by golfers in-ternationally as a fantastic tournament,” said Ogilvy.“Professional golf can put you in a box and when you play in the US it’s just easier to stay there.”“It hasn’t really been possible to compete in the New Zealand Open – but it is now and I couldn’t be more excited,” says Ogilvy.Ogilvy has won 12 times as a professional including eight times on the US PGA Tour, culminating in his victory at the US Open in 2006. And the Victorian star is quick to point out is isn’t heading to New Zealand just to make up the numbers.“The older you get, the more things like Na-tional Opens take pride of place on your re-sume,” he said. “Tournaments like the New Zealand Open stand the test of time.”

OGILVY ADDS NZ OPEN TO SCHEDULE

For instance, Englishman Tommy Fleetwood didn’t always support those famous long locks that he now carries with such pride.

And Rory McIlroy sported a fair head of hair 10 years ago as well, but prefers a much ‘sportier’ looks these days.

Ian Poulter has also done away with the ‘mul-let’, although he still likes to be a bit of a fash-ionista and usually dresses the part.

Whether it’s just to remind them of how much they have improved their image, the Europe-an Tour has been posting ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos of some of our leading Tour players.

In 2009, McIlroy was a 20-year-old with pre-cocious talent two years into his pro career.

Padraig Harrington has been named as the European Captain for The 2020 Ry-der Cup at Whistling Straits in Wiscon-sin from September 25 – 27, 2020.

The three-time Major Champion has a storied Ryder Cup career, having represented Eu-rope six times as a player – including being part of four triumphs – while most recently he has brought his extensive experience to the role of Vice-Captain in the past three edi-tions of the biennial contest.As a player, Harrington made his Ryder Cup debut at The Country Club in Brookline in 1999 and was ever-present for the follow-ing five editions, helping Europe to victory in 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2010.He was named as Vice-Captain for the first time by fellow Dubliner McGinley for the vic-tory at Gleneagles in 2014, a role he returned to in 2016 at Hazeltine National under Darren Clarke, and again last September in France under Denmark’s Thomas Bjørn.The former European Number One has col-lected 30 titles worldwide and famously se-

cured his first Major in The 2007 Open Cham-pionship at Carnoustie, defeating Sergio Garcia in a play-off. He successfully defended the Claret Jug at Royal Birkdale the follow-ing year and became the first European to win back-to-back Majors when he added the 2008 US PGA Championship at Oakland Hills a few weeks later.Harrington said: “It is a tremendous honour to be named Ryder Cup Captain and I am relish-ing the next 20 months as we work towards Whistling Straits and Europe’s defence of the trophy. I am very much looking forward to taking on this role.”Harrington claimed a total of 10½ points over his six Ryder Cup appearances, starting at Brookline in 1999, when he teamed up with Miguel Ángel Jiménez in the day one four-somes to halve with Davis Love III and Payne Stewart before claiming his maiden singles victory, defeating Mark O’Meara by one hole.His first experience of a European victo-ry came in the next edition at The Belfry in 2002 where he took two points from his four matches – partnering Colin Montgomerie to beat Phil Mickelson and David Toms in the fourballs and defeating Mark Calcavecchia 5 and 4 in the singles.Harrington’s greatest single match points haul of four from five matches came in Eu-rope’s record-breaking 18½ – 9½ victory at Oakland Hills in 2004. He resumed his part-nership with Montgomerie to defeat Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods in the fourballs and Davis Love III and Fred Funk in the four-somes, before teaming up with McGinley to beat Love III and Woods in the foursomes, before rounding off with a singles win over Jay Haas.He was part of another stunning win by the same scoreline two years later, this time on home soil at The K Club in County Kildare, before rounding off his playing career in the contest as part of Europe’s dramatic 14½ – 13½ triumph at The Celtic Manor Resort in Wales in 2010, partnering Ross Fisher to vic-tory over Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson in the foursomes and Jim Furyk and Dustin Johnson in the fourballs.

So the little brother of Australia’s top wom-an player Minjee Lee has taken what many would agree is an inevitable plunge into the professional ranks when he teed it up at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on the Euro-pean Tour last week.

Lee unfortuntely missed the cut in Abu Dha-bi by a few strokes but gained invaluable in-sight into what it takes to play at the elite level of world golf.

While that is the second-biggest tour in the world, Lee makes no secret of the fact his long-term ambition is to ply his trade on the even-richer US PGA Tour.

While in the men’s championship, three extra holes were needed before Chun-An Yu from Chinese Taipei overcame Japan’s Keita Na-kajima.

Kyriacou fired rounds of 70-75-75-70 to fin-ish at 2-over-par and played stellar final day golf to record the day’s low round of 2-under after going out in 36 and storming home in 34. It was a solid finish for Kyriacou to secure her first main amateur title in Australia and is sure to be attracting the interests of the national selectors.

KYRIACOU, YU WIN MASTER OF THE AMATEURS TITLES

The 2019 Australian Master of the Am-ateurs has produced another classic finish with Stephanie Kyriacou nailing a birdie on the final hole to secure a three stroke win over Victorian Juli-enne Soo.

WORDS: ANTHONY POWTER // IMAGE: ANTHONY POWTER

“I’m pleased with the way I was able to finish, especially after my third round,” said Kyri-acou.

“I did not close out my third round well and dropped a few coming in. Today, I finished strongly and it’s an amazing feeling to win a tournament like this at Royal Melbourne.”

Grace Kim finished at 6-over for outright third position with Becky Kay, who held the lead for the first two rounds, a shot behind at 7-over and in 4th position. Maddie Hinson-Tolchard rounded out the top-5, finishing at 8-over-par.

In the men’s championship overnight leader Nakajima was out of the blocks early play-ing solid and steady golf all the way until the 72nd hole.

Nakajima reached the tough par 4 18th on the West Course in regulation with a stroke lead, but his approach shot finished well above the hole needing him to lag a 15 metre put for a

par and victory.

Instead, Nakajima rolled his putt 2 metres past the pin and then missed the putt on the return for a bogey.

Earlier, Yu had fired an impressive 67 to be sitting in the Clubhouse at 6-under-par. It was a devastating blow for Nakajima who had held the lead since the opening day only to see it slip by with poor putting on the final hole.

Three additional holes were needed to deter-mine the outcome with Nakajima also nar-rowly missing a 2 metre putt for victory on the second play-off. Then Yu fired in argu-ably one of his finest 7 irons, stiffing the ball to within one metre of the pin and setting up victory with a birdie.

“Tough as, that’s the best way I would de-scribe it,” said Yu.

“I played well to get into the playoff and was a little fortunate with him three putting the last, but my shot on the third playoff hole was near perfect. I’m very satisfied with the outcome and the win.”

Blake Windred moved three places with his final round of 2-under 70, to finish at 5-un-der-par for the tournament and in outright third position.

Aussie Andre Lautee and American Matthew Wolff rounded out the top-5 at 3-under. Wolff was spectacular during his brief stint in Aus-tralia and is a player to follow in the future with his unusual swing like action, yet his sheer power and steely resolve will undoubt-edly see him PGA Tour bound.

This was another classic championship that rightfully sits as Australia’s top R&A ranked men’s and women’s tournament.

Next year will see the tournament moving to the Victoria Golf Club for three years, hav-ing been held at Royal Melbourne for the last nine years.

Two young Australians will ply their trade on the Asian professional golf tour after surviving a gruelling five rounds of qualifying in Thailand recently.

West Australian Daniel Fox and Victorian Zach Murray will have full playing privileges in Asian this year after playing some of their best golf to get through one of the toughest tests their games will ever face.Fox, 42, who won the WA Open in 2015 and has played on the Australasian and Europe-an Challenge Tours will have both the Aus-tralasian and Asian Tours on which to play in 2019.He finished in a tie for 16th after rounds of 69-65-72-69-66 to finish 14-under par, 10 shots

behind the Qualifying School winner Austen Truslow.

Murray, 21, did even better with the 21-year-old firing rounds of 68-64-67-66-69 to finish alone in fourth spot, just three shots from the winner.

That should guarantee the rookie profession-al lofty status for the early-season events

While cards were available to the top 35 in the 90-hole marathon event, Australians Jack Munro and Kade McBride will be rue-ing a missed putt here and there which cost them any chance of progressing to the tour.

Both missed out by just one shot after being unable to get the job done in disappointing back nines on the final day.

Another talented professional Dale Brandt-Richards, from NSW, finished just three shots from gaining Asian Tour status.

Of the rest of the Australian contingent Vic-torian Cameron John finished in 72nd spot; Jordan Zunic 80th, Simon Hawkes 87th, Pe-ter Stojanovski 99th, Rick Kulacz 99th, Jack Murdoch 109th, Nabil Abdul 137th, Peter Wil-son 149th, George Worrall 170th, Benjamin Stowe 170th, Shaw Wools-Cobb 182nd and Will Heffernan 218th.

For Qualifying School winner Truslow it has been an amazing journey:

“For the past four years, I haven’t got on Tour,” he said.

“My goal when I was 18 was to get on Tour by age 22 and the Asian Tour Qualifying School was my last chance to do it.”

“It’s been a good week. I finally have a place to play full time.”

“Now that I have a card, I can loosen up and show my consistency. I started chipping with one hand over a year ago. I didn’t chip great this week, but it was still a lot better than chipping with two hands.”

“I don’t chip with one hand every single time, but [I do] 80 per cent of the time.”

New Year’s Eve celebrations have come and gone and that means golf’s new rules are now officially in play.

All he wants is to be a contender...in 2019.Sounds like Tiger Woods isn’t aiming too high with his expectations and plans for this sea-son.Of course we all know that would never sat-isfy the former world No 1 and one of the greatest golfers of all time.He is grateful that he was able to break through for a win in 2018 and Woods is cer-tain he won’t be playing quite as much golf (he played 18 events in the season just end-ed) in the season ahead.And his win at East Lake in the season-end-ing Tour Championship was one for the ages.He also had two second placings, seven top 10s and an overall second in the rich FedEx Cup.“My expectation is to compete again and play,” said Woods.“Had you given me [those results] this time a year ago, my expectations were totally dif-ferent,” he said.“I was just hoping to finish an event. So, 2019 is going to be exciting for me, knowing I can play and compete at the highest level again.”It has been well documented that Woods’ game will be perfect suited to three of the four major championship venues in 2019...Augusta National (the Masters), Bethpage Black (US PGA) and Pebble Beach (US Open).“I’m excited about the major championships in general,” he said.“I had a couple of opportunities to win [in 2018], and hopefully...that will continue with the [three] venues all places I’ve won at.”As Woods lines up this week for his first tour-nament of 2019, we will soon see what the former world number one has instore for his fans.

WOODS TAKES AIM FOR 2019

So it’s time to get serious and learn what you can and can’t do after the R&A and the USGA have agreed on a raft of changes to speed up and improve the game.

Importantly, the actual rules of golf have changed from 34 to just 24 – which has to

help in the long run.And golf’s two governing bodies are making it as easy as they can for golfers all around the world to make the transition.They have launched the Rules of Golf 2019 app which is available for iOS and Android.The app includes some simple explanations, diagrams and quizzes to get everyone into the ‘swing;’ of things.While you might not encounter some of the rule changes in the immediate future, there’s a fair chance you will, eventually, want to know them all.While we urge you to look at the app to find out more, some of the changes which will immediately come into play in your weekly round of golf include:DROPPING THE BALL FROM KNEE HEIGHTWhen taking free-relief, or a penalty drop, dropping the golf ball from shoulder height will be a thing of the past in 2019 (and drop-

ping over the shoulder is long gone). From now on, you’ll be required to drop the golf ball from knee height, while standing.REDUCED SEARCH TIMEThe time you are allowed to search for a ball has been reduced from five to three minutes.PUTTING WITH THE FLAGSTICK INPreviously you’d get a penalty stroke if your ball hits the pin while putting. As of January 1, you can putt with the flagstick in safe in the knowledge that there will be no penalty if your ball hits it.NO PENALTY FOR BALL MOVING ON GREENThere will no longer be any penalty applied if your golf ball accidentally moves on the put-ting green – either by the actions of a player or natural causes.Of course these are just a few examples and its worth logging into the R&A website if you prefer to be the rules ‘guru’ when any of these prospective instances occur.
