The Australian PGA Championship was rescheduled this year because of the Presidents Cup but will be played at the same venue as it has the last six years -- the RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast. And the defending champion this year is the same as last year -- two-time winner Cameron Smith, who is coming off a really nice Presidents Cup performance where he took down Justin Thomas in the singles.
Enough of what you already know. Let's get to the picks!
- My Top10er this year is Cameron Smith. I know the money is on Smith to get three in a row, especially after his performance last week at Royal Melbourne. And he certainly is riding a high coming into this event. But I think someone else has the inside track this year...
- And that player, my winner, is Adam Scott. I think Adam has a lot of pent-up emotion after last week, emotion that could lift him to another win at this event. (He won the first playing at RACV Royal Pines Resort in 2013.) Adam went 2-2-1 and should have a renewed belief in what he is capable of after the International Team nearly pulled off the upset. I think he has the advantage over Smith this week.
