Australian Open golf 2018: guide

Seven’s coverage of the Australian Open golf tournament begins on Thursday from The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney.

Jason Richardson and Alison Whitaker are hosting with Pat Welsh, Wayne Grady, Grant Dodd, Ewan Porter and Alison Whitaker commentating the action.

Bree Laughlin will report from around the course.

Fresh from winning a US Tour event in Mexico overnight, Matt Kuchar will lead a star-studded Australian Open field vying for the prestigious Stonehaven Cup at The Australian Golf Club in Sydney on Thursday.

Defending champion and young Aussie superstar Cameron Davis will return in a bid to be the first person since Peter Lonard in 2004 to win back-to-back.

Former winners Greg Chalmers, Robert Allenby and crowd favourite Craig Parry are set to light up the fairways, alongside a host of Aussie stars including Rod Pampling and John Senden.

US PGA Tour winners Brandt Snedeker, Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele will form a powerful international contingent alongside Kuchar.

The Australian Open is also a chance for players to secure a place in golf’s international championships, the British Open. The leading three players, who finish in the top 10 and ties who are not already exempt, will qualify for the 2019 British Open.
