In a year to remember for Australian sporting Cameron Smiths, the 24-year-old Queenslander punctuated his maiden win on the US PGA Tour earlier this year to claim the Joe Kirkwood Cup and continue his ascent up the world rankings.
He is the man being credited with unleashing the “scary potential” hiding within 25-year-old Jordan Zunic and now Nick O’Hern has revealed just what his new pupil must do to claim the Australian PGA Championship at RACV Royal Pines Sunday.

With the opportunity to assume the mantle of Australia’s No.1-ranked male golfer by claiming the Joe Kirkwood Cup on Sunday, Leishman’s position at the top of the leaderboard alongside Adam Bland after 36 holes is to be expected but Pete Senior’s spot just inside the top 10 is a shock to all but his fellow professionals.

Defending Australian PGA champion Harold Varner III is hoping that the return of Tiger Woods to golf exceeds all expectations so that he one day has the chance to take him down.
The unassuming boy from Warrnambool wouldn’t mind going unnoticed but having committed late to play in the Australian PGA Championship at RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast this week, Marc Leishman insists he is ready to steal the limelight from two of golf’s most recognisable faces.
