In this interview with Australian Golf Digest, David Puig reflects on returning to Australia – a country closely tied to some of his strongest performances and most memorable wins.
Coming back after success on Australian soil, Puig describes the week as special, shaped by passionate crowds, live entertainment and world-class golf courses. Having played well at venues such as Royal Queensland and Royal Melbourne, he explains why Australia consistently brings out his best golf and why the overall atmosphere feels unlike anywhere else on tour.
From a technical standpoint, Puig notes that adapting to Australian conditions is less about long-game fundamentals and more about finesse. Firm turf and fast greens demand precise short game execution, thoughtful club selection and disciplined speed control around the greens – elements that often separate good rounds from great ones.
