The PGA Tour season came to a close this week with Adam Scott finishing sixth in Atlanta to cap off a successful season.
The Aussie trio of Katherine Kirk, Minjee Lee and Su Oh all finished at T25 in Canada in another consistent week for our top LPGA Tour women.
South Australian Wade Ormsby was brilliant in Sweden on the European Tour, cracking the top five for the first time since the ISPS Handa Vic Open in February.
And while Queensland young gun Maverick Antcliff added a T2 two his three wins on the CGA Tour this year, veteran Cam Percy booked his return to the PGA Tour with a T11 finish in the second Korn Ferry Tour finals event.
