Summer is upon us which means the Australasian PGA Tour swings into full speed. The MasterCard Masters kicks off tomorrow at Huntingdale, in my home town Melbourne. The MasterCard Masters is co-sanctioned by the Australasian & European Tours, so hopefully we will see a good field this year. We should considering last years champion Justin Rose went on the have a fabulous year which included taking out the European Order of Merit with a win in the final event, the Volvo Masters at Valderrama.

While Adam Scott crumbled like a cookie over on the European tour another Aussie Richard Green took out the BA-CA Open in Vienna, Austria. Richard only had to two putt on the last to take out the tournament but the nerves got to him and he knock the first when well past and missed the one coming back. However he went on to win in a play off against Jean-François Remesy. Richard's last win was the 2004 Australian Masters but it's been 10 years since his last European victory the Dubai Desert Classic which he also won in a play off against fellow Aussie Greg Norman.
