We may not have seen Day 2 of the 2024 Australian PGA Championship unfortunately today due to heavy rain over at the Royal Queensland Golf Club up in Brisbane, but there will be two more rounds to make up a shortened round of three rather than four going into tomorrow and Sunday.
The good news is though that a few of our Aussies are currently in front with QLD local Elvis Smylie leading the way at six under 65 ahead of a few front running Internationals like the Swiss Joel Girrbach & Victor Perez from France who are both sharing in Tied 2nd.
Don’t forget there’s Cameron Smith, Jason Day, David Micheluzzi and Marc Leishman not far behind in Tied 6th with last year’s winner Min-Woo Lee over in Tied 14th, so lots can change over the next 36 holes in a race to hoist the Joe Kirkwood Cup.
We still have a great track record of Aussies winning this tournament most of the last decade in the hope of crowing yet another domestic winner, with American Harold Varner III being the last non-Aussie winner back in 2016.
And for everyone else, there’s not a lot of time left in order to beat the cut – so they go all in to finish off whatever place they hope as highest as they possibly can for final day Sunday.
This is still going to be one hell of a golf contest we don’t want to miss as long as there’s no more bad weather before we move over to Kingston Heath & Victorian Golf Club for the Australian Open starting later next week.
It’s never been a better time now to tune in across Nine & Fox Sports between 12-5pm AEDT this weekend where we can only get to see some stunning golf including some star players from the globe who come in to play at our backyard twice a year.
