2019 Australian OOM winners announced
by Golf Australia
The best performed players have been recognised following the conclusion of the 2019 Australian OOM season. The results of over 120 ranking events sectors across Australia during the last 12 months were collated to determine the six OOM winners.
The OOM winners for 2019 are as follows:
Event | Winner | State |
---|---|---|
Mens | Blake Windred | NSW |
Womens | Grace Kim | NSW |
Boys | Tyler Duncan | QLD |
Girls | Lion Higo | QLD |
Senior Men | Greg Rhodes | VIC |
Senior Women | Helen Pascoe | VIC |
The OOM Events saw 3,031 individual players from around Australia compete, with the OOMs continuing to provide interest for golfers of all ages and genders.
Each OOM is points-based and operates over a 12-month period ending October 31. All National Championships and each State’s Amateur Championships in the respective Systems count towards a player’s average, in addition to various other major events.
Players’ points are determined by their finishing positions in each event and the events themselves are weighted according to the historic field strength.
The conditions for the 2020 Australian Amateur Ranking Systems will be uploaded to the website in the coming weeks and reflect a change to a “points average” OOM system. This will reward the most consistent players, and to be eligible to win in 2020 players will need to have competed in a minimum of 5 OOM events.
