The Emirates Australian Open Is This Week...

...And I nearly forgot because I'm used to it occurring BEFORE the Hero!

Defending champion Abraham Ancer

Abraham Ancer is the protecting champion on the Australian Golf Club in Rosebery, that's a suburb of Sydney. This became a large leap forward win for Ancer, who became the primary Mexican winner of the occasion and parlayed that win -- at the side of a few stellar play this season -- into a Presidents Cup berth. He'll be the first Mexican player in that event as nicely.

He'll be joined through a variety of big call gamers like Adam Scott, Marc Leishman, Cameron Smith, Paul Casey, Sergio Garcia and Louis Oosthuizen. I believe there are seven (counting Ancer) of the International Presidents Cup crew playing there this week.

And if that wasn't sufficient, this is the first event to feature qualifying for the 2020 OPEN. Three spots are up for grabs. Don't you need to look at and spot what occurs? I do.
