The 2016 Emirates Australian Open is the first event in The OPEN Qualifying Series and three players (who finished in the top ten and ties who were not already exempt) will earn places in The 146th OPEN at Royal Birkdale 20th-23rd July 2017.

The Australian trio of Matt Jones, Rod Pampling and Nick Cullen qualified for the 145TH OPEN at The Australian GC. Sydney-born Jones, who is a member of The Australian GC qualified in style by winning the Aussie Open, finishing on an eight-under-par total of 276 for the championship, one shot ahead of stars Adam Scott and Jordan Spieth. Pampling finished a shot further back on six-under-par, three ahead of Cullen who tied on three-under-par with fellow Australian Lincoln Tighe but secured the qualifying place thanks to his higher position in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Play is just under way at this years Australian Open from Royal Sydney (RSGC) - host to its 15th Australian Open, and most recently in 2013 won by Rory McIlroy.

THE AUSSIE TRIO of Ashley Hall, Cameron Smith and Aaron Baddeley qualified for the 146TH OPEN at RSGC.

Jordan Spieth’s extra-holes victory at the 101st Emirates Australian Open will long be remembered as one of the most exciting, dramatic and hotly contested in the event’s long and distinguished history. But, while taking possession of the Stonehaven Cup and the first-place cheque for $225,000 would have been more than nice for joint runners-up Ashley Hall and Cameron Smith after both closed with brilliant 66's, the Aussies can at least take solace in a tasty little consolation prize. Along with compatriot Aaron Baddeley, the pair each secured one of the three exempt spots on offer for next year’s OPEN Championship at Royal Birkdale.



For Ash Hall, the exciting prospect of teeing-up for a second time in the championship (he missed the cut at Royal Lytham in 2012) is a far cry from the first stage of the European Tour Qualifying School, where he was competing only two months ago. The 33-year-old from Melbourne passed that test successfully, but failed at the second stage. "It’s great,” he said. “I love Birkdale. I played there as an amateur in 2005, so it will be nothing new to me. And I played the course again during the 2012 Open. It’s going to be fun. The Open is one of my favourite tournaments, so knowing I’m in this far out, is kind of nice. I love links golf. I love the way they play and it’s just a different way of playing golf. Much like Australian golf, you can bounce the ball around a little bit, so I don't think it’s any secret why Aussies have done pretty good in the past at the Open.”



Queenslander Cameron Smith missed out in what would have been something of a “triple crown” of Australian golf by losing in that play-off but was also excited at the prospect of what will be his OPEN debut. “It’s going to be awesome,” said the 2011 Aussie Boys & 2013 Aussie Amateur champion with a huge smile on his face. “I actually played with the R&A Deputy Championship Committee Chairman, Peter Cowell earlier this week. I guess that was fate or kind of an omen. It’s the only major I haven’t played in yet, so I’m keen to get over there. That’s the one with all the history. I’d love to go over there and see what I can do.”



Aaron Baddeley who has joint Australian & US citizenship claimed his spot by the narrowest of margins as one of five players tied for fourth place, the two-time Australian Open Champ (‘99 & 2000) broke the tie by dint of his higher position on the world rankings. Baddeley arrived in Sydney as the 149th OWGR, nine places better than New Zealander Ryan Fox, 17 ahead of Rod Pampling, 83 clear of Geoff Ogilvy and 173 beyond Jason Scrivener. Aaron is using a new set of sticks to open his 2016-17 season as he just signed a multi-year equipment deal with PING. ‘Badds’ (The 2006 Heritage Champ at Hilton Head, 2007 FBR Open, 2011 Northern Trust Open and 135 events later the Barbasol Champ last July in the USofA) has always garnered some interest on here - from frank60, huddys & applehunter to mention a few. He remains statistically speaking one of the best putters in the world, but his tee-to-green game remains one of the worst ! We’ll be keeping a close eye on those new clubs boys !

One of the peculiar highlights of his 2015 year must be his 'birdie' on hole 17 at the Valero Texas Open. A once-in-a-lifetime experience was to follow after pulling his tee ball at this drivable par 4 as Aaron was forced to swallow an unplayable lie. Now back at the tee and hitting his third, he promptly holed out from 336 yards for 'birdie'.

Like Kenny Perry’s message to fans who may have thought that he was depressed after his playoff loss in the 2009 Masters tournament (that Cabrera won) - "I have been so blessed, I could never be disappointed or upset with my life. Jesus is No. 1 in my life. I hope that comes through in everything I do," he said. Baddeley is a committed Christian (like Spieth, Bubba, Ben Crane & Justin Leonard) and has confessed that it was his faith that prevented him giving up professional golf on numerous occasions. Remember ‘Amen Corner’ has not been too kind in the recent past.
Baddeley's wife Richelle, whom he married on April 15, 2005, sums up Badds faith in God by saying: "He never asked, 'What are you trying to teach me? I want you to be the man you want me to be. I will go through these (bad) times if that is Your will'." Richelle has also been pivotal to Baddeley's resurgence. "I had to learn the balance of letting him be alone when he comes home sometimes upset. It's sheer frustration from him. He's played his best, and it just hasn't happened," she said. Baddeley and his wife Richelle have two daughters Jewell Kalaih and Jolee.

While he has had many up and downs with his game as there’s no doubt he is well capable, he is not to be confused with 29-year-old Queenslander Steven Bowditch who suffers clinical depression.

His nickname is “Badds.” Some might call it appropriate or a little ironic considering the high moral standards that he's set for himself? "My friends called me that nickname growing up. It’s sort of catchy. But my life is all about following the Lord and doing what’s right" - Baddeley. Amen. Devil

Local man Darren Fichardt secured his fifth European Tour success after shooting a 4-under-par 34-34=68 in Sunday's closing third round at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club's East Course to finish at 15-under 200 and edge out British duo Paul Waring and Stuart Manley by a shot.
As well as ending his four-year drought at this level, Fichardt also punched his ticket for this summer's OPEN Championship as three spots were on offer here. Darren now gets the chance to peg it up in an Open Championship for the first time since 2010. He's never made the cut in his previous five.

Stuart Manley will peg it up for the first time in an OPEN Championship. The Welshman's 54-hole tally of 14-under 201 at the Joburg Open a weather-disrupted event secured one of the three spots on offer. England's Paul Waring also secured a place at an OPEN close to his Merseyside home - a welcome consolation after the agony of seeing a birdie putt at 18 to force a play-off with Fichardt catch the lip and spin out. Waring finished T19 at Royal Birkdale on his last appearance at the OPEN in 2008 so bank that info as he could be an interesting sleeper pick this summer on a course he knows well.

Thailand’s Prayad Marksaeng and Phachara Khongwatmai, Korea’s Younghan Song, and South Africa’s Jbe Kruger secured their places after qualifying at the SMBC Singapore Open at Sentosa Golf Club - the second event in The Open Qualifying Series.

The popular Thai golfer will look to make it sixth time lucky when he returns to The Open in July. It will be a busy summer for 50yo Marksaeng, who is set to play in the Senior Open at Royal Porthcawl the following week. “I’m so happy. This is number six for me and I am just so proud to be in The Open and to make the Thai people proud of me also,” said Markaeng.

Rising teenage star Khongwatmai kept a cool head to finish tied for second place on eight-under-par. The 17-year-old, who earned his first professional victory at the Sing Hu Hin Open aged just 14, played in The Open at Royal Troon last July. For the second year running Khongwatmai earns his exemption through The Open Qualifying Series, having booked his place last time in Thailand. “I’m feeling really excited and really happy. Last year I didn’t think I would get in The Open – I was very lucky to have played there. “I missed the cut but it wasn’t a problem for me because I played really good on the first day. On the second day, I played in the afternoon’s last two groups and it was very bad weather.

Last year’s Singapore Open champion Song, 25, will make his Open debut. In 2016 the Korean recorded a slender victory over then world number one Jordan Spieth, beating the American by one stroke in a play-off to claim his maiden professional title.  “I was very close to capturing the championship again and just missed out so I didn’t realise about getting the ticket to The Open until now,” said Song.  “I haven’t play any links golf before but this is a really great honour to play in The Open.”

Kruger owes his place at Royal Birkdale to a wonderful eagle at the last after his second shot skimmed over the surrounding bunkers to land within 20 feet of the pin. Kruger sunk his final putt to propel him up the leaderboard to join the mix of players on eight-under-par in second place. The South African is a three-time winner on the Sunshine Tour and will make his second appearance at The Open this summer after playing in 2012 at Royal Lytham & St Annes.
Kruger said his target was now to better that performance and make the cut at Royal Birkdale, saying, “I’m very excited, it has been a few long years for me.
“It was amazing (playing at The Open in 2012). It was probably one of my first days of links golf so I didn’t play great. I played well the first day and then on the second I just fell apart. I didn’t really know how to play links golf but I think this time it’s going to be different – I actually like it now.”

I detest these worldwide qualifying spots.  They were implicated by The R&A to placate the IOC for golf to become an olympic sport.

I much preferred the old Sunday Monday 36 holes around local to the venue courses. They all rocked up: Crenshaw, Mize, Leonard, Brooks, (seen 'em all miss out yet to subsequently win a major). Club pro's & decent amateurs could live the dream and 2 decent scores may get through with 8 or more spots at each course.

Some of the sudden death play offs were legendary.

Roberto de Vicenzo, the Champion Golfer of the Year in 1967 and one of the sport’s most popular figures has died aged 94 just weeks after suffering a fall at his home. De Vicenzo was an Honorary Member of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and the second-oldest living Major winner.
The flamboyant Argentinian enjoyed a long and successful career which reached its apex when he lifted the Claret Jug at Royal Liverpool beating Jack Nicklaus by two strokes - The first Argentine to win a Major. Ever popular with the British galleries, de Vicenzo was just as renowned for his warm and engaging personality as he was for his sublime golf which saw him win 231 other tournaments, including eight on the PGA Tour, and would have been in a playoff at the 1968 Masters if he had not signed an incorrect scorecard after the final round.
"What a stupid I am, (to be wrong here)" de Vicenzo famously said. He carded a closing 65 at Augusta National, but signed for a 66 and thus officially finished one stroke behind winner Bob Goalby. During the final round, De Vicenzo made a birdie 3 at the par-4 17th hole and finished tied with Bob Goalby. But Tommy Aaron, who was playing with De Vicenzo and keeping his scorecard, mistakenly wrote down a "4'' on the hole. De Vicenzo did not catch the error and signed the scorecard, meaning under the Rules of Golf he had to take that score. De Vicenzo said in an interview with ESPN Radio that when countryman Angel Cabrera won the Masters in 2009, it “brought a few tears to my eyes…because I would have loved to have that jacket myself as well.”

De Vicenzo first got into golf as a caddie in Buenos Aires, retrieving balls from ponds but he rose from these humble beginnings to become the greatest golfer to emerge from South America. He first played in The Open in 1948, was a runner-up once and was third no less than six times. By 1967 he was a sentimental favourite, always a quality ball-striker, his putting not always reliable. Aged 44 he became the second oldest Champion ever, after Old Tom Morris who was 46 in 1867.
In  a tense finale, he held off the challenge of defending Champion Jack Nicklaus, helped by a birdie at the par-5 16th – now the 18th for Royal Liverpool’s recent Opens – when he struck a superb 3-wood over the corner of the out-of-bounds to the heart of the green. De Vicenzo’s victory was a joyous occasion and he was a hugely popular Champion. The crowd’s “sustained warmth and affection,” wrote Pat Ward-Thomas, “were tribute to a fine human being as well as a great golfer and a victory nobly won.” On the European Tour alone, De Vicenzo won the French Open, the German Open, the Dutch Open, the Spanish Open and the Belgian Open. De Vicenzo was also a success on the 50-and-over Champions Tour, winning the first US Senior Open in 1980, and the 1974 PGA Seniors' Championship.
“A great sadness for Roberto de Vicenzo! No doubt Argentina and the golf today are mourning! Gracias por tanto Maestro! (Thank you for both master!)” - Cabrera paying homage to De Vicenzo via Twitter.

Thanks charlie, good spot. 33/1 Koepka ten places looks very attractive. Only wish I could get a decent amount on.

Pretty sure it was 16/1 the field three years ago frames, with Rose as fav believe it or not.  The golfing landscape has changed a touch since then though!

Yes Clarke was ranked #111 in 2011 when he won.  Hamilton was actually ranked #56 in 2004 despite me (and presumably a lot of others) kind of ranking it alongside Curtis in terms of shock value.  But he had already won that year on the PGA Tour.  Oosthuizen was #54 when he won at 400/1+, I believe there's a thread on here somewhere that documents it.

These days Birkdale only caters for 2 par 5s (15 & 17). There was a time 6, 13 & 18 were par 5 holes.

I confidently predict The 6th will be the toughest par 4 they'll see next week.
