Aussies on Tour: Season’s best for Smyth in Indonesia
by Tony Webeck

A tie for third at the Mandiri Indonesia Open is Travis Smyth’s best result of the year as he and fellow New South Welshman Kevin Yuan both finished top five on the Asian Tour.
Rocketing into contention on the back of a 7-under 65 in Round 2, Smyth began the final round three strokes off the lead but couldn’t keep pace with Malaysian Suteepat Prateeptienchai who stormed to a seven-stroke victory with 64 in the final round.
Smyth’s first top five of the year saw him rise to 13th on the Order of Merit as Yuan moved into 10th on the back of a superb weekend.
Squeezing inside the cut-line by two shots, Yuan posted consecutive rounds of 6-under 66 to join Smyth in a share of third, bettering his previous best result this season, a fourth-place finish at the Smart Infinity Philippine Open.
After dropping a shot at the second hole in Sunday’s final round, Yuan hit all remaining 16 greens in regulation, converting seven birdie chances including four in his final seven holes to storm up the leaderboard.
While Smyth and Yuan were our best this past week, the Aussie flag flew high at various times on leaderboards around the world.Scott Hend (Legends Tour), Grant Booth (PGA TOUR Americas) and Brad Kennedy (Japan Golf Tour) spent time at or near the top of the leaderboard.
Inside the top 10 entering the final round of the LPGA Tour’s FM Championship, it was a welcome return to form for Hannah Green while Justice Bosio moved to second on the LET Access Series Rookie of the Year standings, keeping alive her hopes of promotion to the Ladies European Tour in 2026 by finishing seventh at the Women’s Irish Challenge.
