Aussies are off to a pretty good start to 2008.
Karrie Webb won her fourth Australian Open in one of the most exciting finishes to tournament you're likely to see. After commentators all but declared world number 7 Ji-Yai SHIN the winner, Karrie Webb birdied 16 and 17, which ranked amongst the hardest on the
Kingston Heath layout to force a playoff. Karrie played the 18th almost identical 3 times in a row, finally sinking a birdie put for victory.
World number 5 Adam Scott won the
Qatar Masters after an awesome 11 under 61. And of course
Jarrod Lyle won the
Mexico Open.
There's been plenty of other good finishes as well. In fact 13 top 20 placings by Aussies on the PGA Tour. Steve Elkington is having some what of a resurgence with 4th, 5th and 13th placings. PGA tour newbies
Brett Rumford,
Matt Jones and
Jason Day have already managed to rank up top 20 finishes. And finally Stuart Appleby is currently sitting at number 2 for the scoring average with an average of 69.10
