Golf Australia chief executive Stephen Pitt was delighted to have Snedeker return to Australia, especially after the recent announcement of Matt Kuchar also in the field.
Connelly, nicknamed “the wee man,” was on Kaymer’s bag for both the German’s two Major victories, first at the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits and then at the 2014 US Open at Pinehurst.
Fujikawa asserted that he doesn’t want this announcement to focus on him, and hopes it helps spread love and acceptance to those in similar situations.
