Commonwealth Golf Club gets a chance to show off its much-trumpeted restoration, Cranbourne Golf Club goes on display in its final year of operation at the current site, and the best amateurs in Australia and from across the world have congregated as the adidas Australian Amateur begins today.
Quinn Croker has secured the biggest win of his career at the adidas Australian Amateur, but 15-year-old Amelia Harris suffered the cruellest of cuts in the final round at Yarra Yarra Golf Club.
Harris would be one of the youngest-ever winners of the national championship, although Kiwi Lydia Ko’s landmark – she won as a 14-year-old in 2011 at Woodlands Golf Club – stands as the record.
Harris, who is currently completing Year 9 at Melbourne’s Rowville Sports Academy, secured her spot for the week at Monday’s pre-qualifying at Sanctuary Lakes.
