The 1934 Australian Open at Royal Sydney was a pivotal moment in Australian golf, with local hero Billy Bolger shooting a world-record score to beat Gene Sarazen – arguably the game’s best player at the time.
After a lean year by his lofty standards – including that Masters mishap – Jordan Spieth returns to Sydney with his Arnie-like aura in tact and ready to contend.
And so we look to this year and, doubtless, another story that will enthral – just another chapter in the already rich folklore of the Emirates Australian Open.
