GEOFF OGILVY will be aiming to make it two in a row when the 2010 Australian PGA Championship tees off on Thursday.
The 33-year-old won his first Australian Open on Sunday by four shots from Alistair Presnell and Matt Jones.
Ogilvy looked at ease over the four days of the tournament at The Lakes in Sydney and will be brim full of confidence facing a hot field full of international talent and previous winners at Coolum.
His major rivals include four-time winner and defending champion Robert Allenby and a rejuvenated Adam Scott who is striking the ball wonderfully but just needs to get his putter on song.
Three-time winner Peter Lonard is also back on home soil from the US this week and will be aiming to finish his year on a high after lots of downtime with health issues.
American John Daly will also be looking for a better result after failing to make the cut in Sydney.
Television coverage
The PGA Championship will be telecast on ONE HD from noon to 5pm Thursday to Sunday and also on TEN Saturday and Sunday.
Wish your TV coverage would diverse from the leaders at times during your coverage of the Australian PGA in Coolum to show the entire field’s scores. I am sure other fans like myself want to support other golfers and hear how they are traveling!
