Queensland left-hander Elvis Smylie has been granted an invitation to make his European Tour debut at the BMW International Open in Germany while amateur Grace Kim will tee it up in the LPGA Tour’s secondary Symetra Tour event in Ohio, the Prasco Charity Championship.

Ranked as high as No.46 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, Smylie put the golf world on notice by the way in which he finished second to Brad Kennedy at The Players Series Victoria in January and continued to impress as the summer progressed.

Shortly after his breakout performance at Rosebud Country Club the 18-year-old made the decision to turn professional, finishing tied for third in his first start as a pro at The Players Series Sydney at Bonnie Doon Golf Club.

He missed the cut in his home state at the Queensland Open but once again highlighted his enormous potential by finishing second behind Bryden Macpherson at the Golf Challenge NSW Open in March.

With his father Peter and Creative Artists Agency managing his affairs – a management company whose clients include Beyonce, Matthew McConaughey, David Beckham and US President Joe Biden – opportunities to play in Europe were sourced and Smylie jumped at the chance.

While he had Mike Clayton serve as caddy during the run of PGA Tour of Australasia events, Smylie has enlisted the services of experienced looper Mike ‘Sponge’ Waite for his entry into Europe, Waite having caddied for fellow Kiwi Michael Campbell at his 2005 US Open triumph along with Robert Allenby, KJ Choi and Lee Westwood.

Yet to take the plunge into the professional ranks, Grace Kim enters her maiden Symetra Tour event with winning form on her side.

The Australian Women’s Amateur champion in February, Kim played the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in April and chose to stay on in America, wasting little time in adding professional titles to her outstanding amateur resume.

She won on the Cactus Tour – by eight strokes no less – in May and then two weeks ago claimed the Oscar Williams Classic on the Women’s All Pro Tour, a victory that earned a place in the field this week on the Symetra Tour.

As Kim continues her progression towards professionalism six of her countrywomen are chasing major glory at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Atlanta, headlined by 2019 champion and world No.15 Hannah Green.

Australia’s five highest-ranked male players are all in action at the PGA TOUR’s Travelers Championship in Connecticut along with Monday qualifier Lucas Herbert and Stephen Leaney, Rod Pampling, John Senden and David McKenzie are in the field for the Bridgestone SENIOR PLAYERS Championship at Firestone Country Club in Ohio.
