The prestigious men’s and women’s Australian Opens are set to come together for the first time ever, set to be hosted at Victoria Golf Club and Kingston Heath Golf Club from December 1-4. The 2022 championship will also feature the 3rd edition of the Australian All Abilities Championship (AAAC), showcasing golf as an inclusive sport for all.

There is a wealth of West Australian representation in both the amateur and professional ranks.

After great performances at the Australian PGA last week Jason Scrivener (T2) and Min Woo Lee (T4) will be keen to continue their form and challenge the likes of Cameron Smith, Adam Scott, Mark Leishman, Nicolai Hojgaard and Adrian Meronk for the Men’s Championship.

In the Women’s Championship both Minjee Lee (4th in Rolex World Rankings) and Hannah Green (20th in Rolex World Rankings) will be amongst the favourites to take the 2022 title whilst Maddison Hinson-Tolchard will be keen to use all her experience gained in the US and at the World Amateur Team Championships (WATC).
