Aussies On Tour: Nov 23
by Golf Australia
There were four events on the world's four biggest tours this week as the men's calendar year winds down and the game's top women eye off next month's US Women's Open. Jason Day rebounded strongly from the first missed cut of his Masters career by finding 46 of 54 greens in regulation over the final three days at Sea Island. Our LPGA stars were back on course three weeks out from golf's final major in Texas and unsurprisingly, Minjee Lee led the way. A Sunday fade out ruined the World No.8's hopes of winning back-to-back tournaments after her recent triumph in Dubai but Lee hung on to record an eighth top 20 in 13 starts this season. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, rising superstar Steph Kyriacou capped off an unforgettable rookie year - and birthday week - on the LET. Playing in Saudi Arabia for the second straight week, Kyriacou chipped in for eagle on her final hole to sign for a new course record 63 which would be enough to secure a runner-up result prior to her birthday on Sunday. That stretched the now 20-year-old's run of top 5 finishes to five in her past seven events, nabbing her Rookie of the Year honours and lifting her to third spot on the Race To Costa Del Sol standings. So for finishing off a debut season we'll never forget in the most stylish way possible, we name Steph Kyriacou as #AussieOfTheWeek once again!
