To be played at the stunning Dumbarnie Links less than 10 miles from St Andrews and which only opened in May last year, this year’s host course is just three hours from Fraserburgh where Green’s mother was born and raised.

One of seven Australians in the field, Green is making her fourth appearance in the Scottish Women’s Open after finishing 16th last year and knows that links golf comes with its good bounces and those that can put you at the foot of the face of a pot bunker.

With wind and rain set to be a factor in the latter rounds, Green understands that a positive mindset is half the battle a week out from the AIG Women’s Open.

“It’s different, links golf. You can hit great shots and they end up in a bad position, and the complete opposite can happen too,” said the 24-year-old who narrowly missed out on the medals at the Olympic Games in Japan last week.

“You can hit horrible shots and they end up great, so it’s definitely a week where you have to be extra patient.

“You’ve got to use your imagination, got to think a little more outside the box. I like when I have to think a little bit harder and worry about where the ball is going to go.”

There’s a strong Australian contingent in London this week also for the Cazoo Classic, Wade Ormsby returning to Europe after last week’s WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational in the US and joined by Maverick Antcliff, Scott Hend, Deyen Lawson, Bryden Macpherson and Jake McLeod.

In the US the PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour are both playing the final events of their regular seasons with major implications for many of our Aussie stars.

Currently 121st on the Order of Merit, Adam Scott needs another solid week at the Wyndham Championship to maintain his record of never missing the FedEx Cup Playoffs while Cameron Percy needs a prominent finish to climb inside the top 125 from his current position of 133rd.

At the completion of this week’s Pinnacle Bank Championship the Korn Ferry Tour will reward the top 25 on the moneylist with promotion to the PGA TOUR for next season, New South Welshman Brett Drewitt sitting in 22nd spot thanks largely to his win in the Lincoln Land Championship.
