International trio to play BMW Australian PGA Championship


One of the new young stars of world golf, South African Aldrich Potgieter, and American crowd favourite Harry Higgs are locked in as two of the first overseas entrants for next month’s BMW Australian PGA Championship,

Potgieter (pictured) will play his first professional tournament in the country where he developed his game while Higgs comes to Australia for the first time on the back of two Korn Ferry Tour wins this year to regain his PGA Tour status.

They will be joined by another KFT winner this year, Chilean Cristobal Del Solar, who has been inspired to play in Australia by countryman and reigning Australian Open champion Joaquin Niemann.

Just 20-years-old, Potgieter is headed for the PGA Tour in 2025 after a huge year on the Korn Ferry Tour (KFT) in 2024, including becoming the youngest winner in the Tour’s history, beating the record held by Jason Day, when he won The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic in January.

Although he was born in Mossel Bay on South Africa’s Southern Cape, Potgieter moved to Perth with his family when he was a child, eventually becoming a member of Golf WA’s High Performance Program.

A member at the Joondalup course, he won the South Australian Junior Masters by nine shots in 2020, the 2021 WA Amateur and was second in the 2021 Australian Boys’ Amateur before, at just 17, becoming the second youngest winner in the history of the British Amateur Championship.

The two-shot win in The Bahamas, thanks to a closing 65, was followed by two other top-10 finishes to see Potgieter finish 29th in the end-of-season standings.

“Growing up in WA, I always enjoyed watching the big tournaments each summer every year in Australia,” Potgieter said.

“I can’t wait to get to Royal Queensland and experience everything about the BMW Australian PGA Championship. There’s plenty of the guys I came through the amateurs with who are now professional who I’m looking forward to catching up with.

“And then there’s the challenge of going up against players like Jason Day, Cam Smith, Min Woo Lee and Cam Davis.”

The affable Higgs, who has won twice on the KFT in 2024, has been a popular figure on the PGA Tour where his best results have included two runner-up finishes and T4 at the 2021 US PGA Championship.

“Australia has always been on the destination list for Kailee and I,” Higgs said.

“We love travelling and seeing new parts of the world.

“It’s all worked out for me to come down to play both of the Aussie majors this year which I’m sure is going to be a great experience.

“It will be a real honour to play in both the Australian Open and Australian PGA in front of the Aussie fans.”

Del Solar’s 2024 highlight was a four-shot victory in The Ascendent, his fifth worldwide success.

“Seeing my great mate Joaquin (Niemann) play so well in Australia last year and hearing from him how much he enjoyed the country, the golf courses and the atmosphere of the events, made it an easy decision to come down and experience it for myself,” he said.

Quinn Croker knows he left some money on the table last season.

As he shored up the final phases of his amateur career, Croker made nine starts on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia, making the cut in each one and finishing inside the top 10 four times, his best result a runner-up finish at the Heritage Classic.

“I don’t know the exact figure, but I know that I did miss out on a little bit of money last year,” Croker reflected.

“Hopefully it just banked up and maybe I’ll be able to get it this year.”

The exact figure was $48,042.76 of prize money not received.

But as Croker prepares to make his professional debut at Webex Players Series South Australia at Willunga Golf Course this week, the 22-year-old views it as an investment he needed to make.

“I finished maybe ninth at the NT PGA and obviously I played solid, but I didn’t feel like I played out of my skin,” Croker said.

“The last finish that really stuck at home for me was The Heritage playing with Matty Griffin and Jak Carter in the final round.

“‘Griffo’ went on to have 23-under that week and I finished second so that made me think that if I play good, there’s definitely an option to winning some of these events.

“That kicked home and that was very confidence boosting.”

A week later Croker won the Australian Amateur Championship at Yarra Yarra Golf Club before embarking on a final international amateur expedition to America that yielded two top-three finishes, including runner-up at the prestigious Southern Amateur.

He advanced through First Stage of Korn Ferry Tour Q School last week and has now set his sights on maximising the Future Tour membership that provides direct entry to the PGA Tour of Australasia this season.

“I definitely feel like I’m ready to be out here,” said the Toowoomba-born Croker.

“It’s just now I’m actually a professional now. I’m not an amateur doing it.

“Even if you’ve proved yourself as an amateur, which I did out here last year, it just feels different now. Now I feel like every shot matters more.

“I know it’s still the same golf shot, it’s still executing what you can, but it feels like it matters more because there’s just that little bit more pressure.”

Crediting his parents for their early guidance, Croker says the move into Brisbane to start working with Chris Gibson at Royal Queensland Golf Club was critical in turning potential into professionalism.

“He really started to push me in the right direction to make sure I was doing things how I should be,” he added.

“Then I was in QAS (Queensland Academy of Sport) and they’ve helped me over the last four years along with Golf Australia. They really dial in what it is to be a professional.

“They’ve been instrumental to where I am now. Hopefully in the next couple of years I’m able to show that it was worth it.”

Webex Players Series South Australia is live on Fox Sports, available on Foxtel and Kayo on Saturday (3pm-6pm AEDT) and Sunday (1pm-6pm AEDT).


Five playoff holes couldn’t split Brad Burns and Andre Stolz before darkness set in and joint winners were declared at the Kent Relocation Group NSW Senior PGA Championship at Cromer Golf Club.

The two prolific winners on the PGA Legends Tour tied at 1-under-par after 36 holes and then had matching pars across the sudden-death playoff, staged on the 351 par-4 eighth hole, before it was agreed they would share the title.

In the quickly fading light, a resolute Burns had forced a sixth hole by draining a five-metre putt.

It was the third PGA Legends Tour win in a row for Order of Merit leader Stolz, who was coming off wins in the ACT Senior PGA Championship and the Cowra Lamb Legends Pro-Am.

Burns made it six victories for 2024, but his first since June.

The duo both posted rounds of 71-68 at Cromer to finish one shot ahead of David Mackenzie (70-70). The Victorian would have made it a three-way playoff had he not bogeyed his second last hole, the par-4 18th.

Lucas Bates had led after an opening round of 68 but dropped to T7 with a 75 on day two.

Meanwhile, Peter Lonard produced the low round of the event in the second round, a 5-under 65, but a 77 on the opening day left him too much ground to make up.

HOW THE WINNERS’ SCORES UNFOLDED

After finishing round one tied for sixth, Stolz began his second round on the ninth hole and Burns on the 18th.

It was Stolz who looked like taking the title outright when he picked up his fourth birdie of the day, at the par-4 sixth, but he dropped back to -1 with a bogey on his last hole, the par-4 eighth.

Burns hit stride with back-to-back birdies at the second and third but put himself into a difficult position with consecutive bogeys at 13 and 14.

However he birdied the par-3 15th, made an up-and-down for par after finding the water on 16, and birdied and his final hole, the par-4 17th, to secure his playoff spot.

WHAT THE WINNER SAID

“That wasn’t bad, was it. First putt I holed all day,” Burns joked after denying Stolz the outright win on the 41st hole.

Stolz said: “We probably shouldn’t have really played that last hole, to be honest. We couldn’t really see. Everyone in the clubhouse was all excited so we thought we’d keep going. It’s a great big boy golf course this one and I was happy to have a chance to try and win.”

The PGA Legends Tour heads to the Blue Mountains for the Fidelity Capital Group Charity Legends Pro-Am at Springwood Country Club on Thursday and The Blackheath Centenary Year Legends Pro-Am at Blackheath Golf Club on Friday.


The wind that whipped up on the Bellarine only served to inspire Brock Gillard as the Victorian claimed a two-stroke win at the Anglesea Golf Club Pro-Am.

After nursing a soft tissue injury through the winter months, Gillard upped his practice intensity in recent weeks.

While the ball-striking reflected that over the first eight holes, the scores didn’t.

It took until the par-4 14th to snare his first birdie, and then they came in a rush, adding three more at 18, one and two in some of the more difficult conditions.

“The first nine holes, I hit it really, really good and made no birdies,” said Gillard.

“Then the wind got up in my last six holes and I made all my birdies.

“The golf guards… go figure.”

Gillard’s round of 3-under 70 was two better than Legends Tour regular Tim Elliott (72) with Ashley Hall (74) and Ryan Lynch (75) third and fourth respectively.

WHAT THE WINNER SAID

“I felt pretty good the last few days with practise,” said Gillard.

“Been hitting it good. The scores haven’t been relating and today just sort of managed to hold it together and holed some good putts.

“I will definitely be playing the Gippsland swing coming up and then got my eyes on trying to qualify for the New South Wales Open.”

The adidas PGA Pro-Am Series has a short break before resuming with the Gorilla Ladders Box Hill Pro-Am at Box Hill Golf Club on November 1.


Queenslander Mitchell Smith has fired a 5-under 67 on day one of the PGA Professionals Championship National Final to lead by two at the Heritage Golf and Country Club.

With an increased $65,000 prize purse, two spots in the BMW Australian PGA Championship up for grabs, as well as Four Nations and Women’s PGA Cup spots on offer, the 66 vocational members from around the country have plenty to play for this week in Melbourne, and Smith’s campaign is off to a dream start.

Trailing him in second is New South Welshman Daniel Nesbitt at 3-under, with another Sydneysider ,Michael Smyth, tied third with West Australian Scott Barr at 2-under.

Barr will be a player to watch this week, coming off a T21 finish at the CKB WA PGA Championship presented by TX Civil & Logistics.

Australia’s Women’s PGA Cup captain Katelyn Must (Qld) is a further shot back at 1-under, tied with Alexander Simpson (NSW) in fifth.

Coaching out of Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club on the Gold Coast as well as The Sim Range in Brisbane, Smith is happy to have made a positive start to his first PGA Professionals Championship National Final.

“I putted really well, that was pretty much just the thing there,” he said. “I holed a lot of putts. That saved me heaps.”

Starting his day on the 12th hole, Smith started with a birdie, however his round peaked later when he backed up a strong birdie on the eighth by eagling the par-five ninth.

“I hit a really good drive, which was actually rare today,” he laughed. “I had a really good group today with Rhys (Granger) who’s a local, so he gave some good lines to hit and yeah, I just managed to flush two in a row and then hold the putt again.”

Being a Queenslander now, Smith says today’s warm weather probably benefited him more than the rest of the field, while his years growing up in Tasmania helped on the putting surfaces.

“Anytime I come down south, I love playing on the bent grass and the soft greens, it’s sort of like coming home a little bit,” he said.

“You get a good roll on the ball, so I always feel like I’ve got a chance of rolling a few putts in and I generally give it a good go.”

Having gone to university straight out of school, 32-year-old Smith has only been a full PGA Member for two years, but says completing the Membership Pathway Program (MPP) was life changing for him.

“Went to Uni and then I was working as a greenkeeper and just podding along basically,” he said.

“The MPP sort of just popped up and I thought, well that’s something that I actually want to do with my life.”

Defending champion Matt Docking shot a 73 to be T11.

After stellar amateur careers, Queensland pair Quinn Croker and Justice Bosio will make their respective debuts as professionals while WA Open champion Elvis Smylie will be eager to bolster his position at the top of the Order of Merit.

South Australian hopes will rest with WA PGA champion Jack Buchanan, WA Open runner-up Jak Carter, LET Access Series winner Kristalle Blum and rising amateur stars Amelia Whinney and Raegan Denton.

Play begins on Thursday morning with the final two rounds broadcast live on Fox Sports and Kayo.

The leading 66 Vocational PGA Professionals from across the country will this week descend on The Heritage Golf and Country Club in the Yarra Valley for the 2024 PGA Professionals Championship National Final.

With an increased prize purse this year, players will be competing for $65,000, with the two leading PGA Professionals after three rounds also earning an exemption into the 2024 BMW Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland from November 21-24.

Vying for an incredible fifth title in 15 years, defending champion Matt Docking will undoubtedly be the player to beat as he seeks to return and improve on his showing at RQ 12 months ago.

“Playing the BMW Australian PGA Championship is an amazing experience, especially to play in front of such huge crowds,” said Docking.

“Although I didn’t play as well as I had hoped last year, it certainly gives me strong motivation to get back there again this year.

“Heritage Golf and Country Club is a really strong layout and with softer conditions due to recent rain, I expect that to win this year you will have to have a good ball-striking week.”

The BMW Australian PGA Championship is not the only lure for competitors this week.

The leading two males from the 2024 PGA Professionals Championship will represent Australia in the 2025 Four Nations Cup and the leading two females from the event will represent Australia in the 2026 PGA Women’s Cup.

The National Final will be played over three days (Tuesday to Thursday) on Heritage’s St John course, which is also the home to the Heritage Classic on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia.

PRIZE MONEY: $65,000

LIVE SCORES: www.pga.org.au

THE COURSE

The St John course at Heritage was originally designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2000. It plays as a par-72 and, measuring more than 6,500 metres, can prove a challenging layout.

Designed in an American parkland style, the St John course is also the home to the Heritage Classic on the PGA Tour of Australasia, where earlier this year winner Matt Griffin demonstrated that despite the challenge, there are certainly plenty of scoring opportunities.

HEADLINERS

Matt Docking: Four-time and defending champion, Docking is the Head Professional at Murray Downs Golf Club which is the host of this year’s NSW Open. Last year Docking came from behind with a final round 67 to triumph by one shot. His win also earned him an invitation to this year’s Heritage Classic on the PGA Tour of Australasia where he made the cut.

TJ King: Leading for 50 holes in last year’s championship before Docking overtook him, TJ King is a two-time runner-up at the National Final. The Assistant Professional at Mt Coolum Golf Club, King is a two-time Australian representative at the Four Nations Cup. Despite still receiving the exemption into the BMW Australian PGA Championship the past two years, King will be hungry to go one better this year and etch his name onto the trophy.

Lachlan Wood: Making waves on the All Abilities circuit in recent years, Hervey Bay Teaching Professional Lachlan Wood has taken his game around the world to the highest level of All Abilities golf. Winner of the 2023 Australian All Abilities Championship and the Tin Can Bay Pro-Am on the adidas PGA Pro-Am Series last year, Wood knows how to close out a tournament and will be one to watch at The Heritage.

Grace Lennon: While Lennon can be found coaching at Melbourne Golf Park more than playing these days, her playing credentials make her a player to watch this week. Winner of the 2023 Athena against some of the top WPGA Tour of Australasia players, Lennon also travelled to the US this year to represent Australia in the Women’s PGA Cup, helping her country to a third-place finish.

Larry Austin: A regular on the touring circuits in Australia and Asia in the 2000s, Queanbeyan’s Austin will be hoping to turn the clock back this week at The Heritage. Having competed in multiple Australian Opens and indeed several national opens around the world, Austin has more experience playing in strong fields than a lot of his competitors this week.

Katelyn Must: Based on the Sunshine Coast, Must has built her own successful golf coaching business over a number a of years. As a player, Must still plays in a number of WPGA Tour of Australasia events, making the cut at Webex Player Series Hunter Valley earlier this year, and was the Australian Team captain at this year’s Women’s PGA Cup.

Scott Barr: Former Asian Tour player and multiple pro-am winner, Barr is a regular on the PGA Legends Tour. Based in WA, Barr also played in the last two events on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia, recording a tie for 21st at the WA PGA Championship to demonstrate that his game is still in incredible shape.


Adam Migur and Damon Stephenson have a share of  the first-round lead at the Queensland PGA Associate Championship being played at Windaroo Lakes golf course.

The Canadian Migur, who is based in Melbourne, and Stephenson opened with a pair of 2-under 71s to sit on top in the $40,000, 72-hole tournament.

Three players – Ben Hollis, Justin Morley and Michael Schimak-Orrell – are a shot farther back at 1-under par.

Migur had three birdies and an eagle at the short par-4 sixth hole in his round.

“I just tried to stay really patient. I knew looking at years past, it was tough challenge this week and just tried to take my chances when I could and stay pretty keel throughout the whole round and not let bogey get me down,” he said.

Migur said Windaroo Lakes “plays right into my strength” as a venue, and paid tribute to his coach, Andrew Cooper, for making the adjustment from the Melbourne Sandbelt to a Queensland course.

“He (Cooper) is really a smart guy and we kind of work on looking forward and saying, ‘okay, this is a different type of grass and technique for chipping is usually a little different up here’.

“And honestly the greens are so cute today. I didn’t even think that they were anything in my mind of what Queensland greens are like. So didn’t really have to worry about that. And chipping has been pretty comfortable. I mean, I’ve been getting some good lies, so we’ll see how the week goes.”

Stephenson, 32, had four birdies but a double bogey 6 at the par-4 eighth hole marred what otherwise would have been a sensational day.

A third win in a stellar LPGA Tour season by Hannah Green has put the Australian within touching distance of a No. 1 world ranking for the first time.

Green, the 27-year-old Mt Lawley product won the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea by a shot to become the first Australian since Karrie Webb in 2006 to win three times in a season on the LPGA Tour.

She joins Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko as three-time winners in 2024.

Green started the week ranked No. 8 in the world but she will likely jump to a new career-high inside the top five when this week’s rankings are released.

“I did not know that about Webby’s statistics,” she said after closing out the victory with rounds of 64-64-70-71. “But yeah, I’ve playing really solid this year. Obviously having two wins and a runner-up and things like that. But I just felt really different this off-season. I felt much more motivated.

“I got married in January. So this has been a very special year. But it helps that I’ve been hitting the ball well, and when the putter goes well, it does go well. So just making sure that I can stay consistent. But I still have four or five more tournaments for the rest of the year, so I want to continue to work hard and have myself in these type of positions.”

France’s Celine Boutier made a determined final-day run with a 66 but Green’s birdie at the 17th hole proved to be the difference.

“It was a crazy finish, I guess,” Green said. “I think I had 127 metres to the pin, and so I hit my 8-iron. The wind was a little bit swirly. It was sometimes into the wind, sometimes from the right. So I wasn’t sure if it was 8-iron but I got lucky with the timing of when I hit my shot.

“I left myself a very difficult putt down the hill, and I guess I was fortunate enough to see Ashleigh Buhai’s putt and she didn’t hit a great putt. So I knew that it was going to be very quick and felt confident even though I was very nervous, and yeah, it went into the middle. So that was really nice, and I knew that gave me the one-shot lead.”

The LPGA Tour has five more events for the season concluding with the tour championship in Florida after which Green will jump on a plane to Melbourne to take her place in the field for the ISPS HANDA Australian Open at Kingston Heath and The Victoria Golf Club.

Meanwhile nine Australians and Kiwis have made it through to the next round of the PGA Champions playoffs, with David Bransdon (third) and Rod Pampling (tied-fifth) showing strong form in Richmond, Virginia over the weekend. The top 54 players advanced, with Michael Wright grabbing the 54th and final place.
