We’re halfway through the men’s major season as six Aussie women prepare to take on the challenge of the US Women’s Open at Erin Hills.

Hannah Green, Minjee Lee, Stephanie Kyriacou and Gabi Ruffels have all been in contention on the LPGA Tour this season without securing a win and be confident heading into their second major of the year.

Only two late bogeys prevented Karl Vilips from notching the third top-10 finish of his PGA TOUR rookie season, his tie for 11th at the Charles Schwab Challenge putting him on the verge of breaking into the top 100 on the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time in his young career.

While the Ripper GC boys have another week to wait to resume their LIV Golf seasons, the US Women’s Open, the Memorial Tournament and Austrian Open give those currently in the Power Rankings plenty to play for.

10. Marc Leishman (Last week: 10) The LIV Golf Miami champion returns to play next week at LIV Golf Virginia, the closest Leishman gets to a home game.

9. Adam Scott (9) After making a spirited charge at the PGA Championship where he was tied 19th, Scott returns to Muirfield Village this week for the Memorial Tournament. Tied for ninth in his last appearance in 2023, Scott was runner-up at Memorial in 2019.
