Queensland PGA Championship City Golf Club , Toowoomba QLD
The ISPS Handa Australasian PGA Tour tees off in Towoomba this week for the Queensland PGA Championship.
Defending champion Daniel Pearce heads the Kiwi contingent which includes reigning NZPGA Order of Merit winner Harry Bateman,Keiren Muir, Victor Janin and Hayden Beard also rookie pros Ryan Chisnall, Nick Voke, James Anstiss, and Chang Gi Lee.
City Golf Club has been a happy hunting ground for the New Zealanders in recent years with Pearce, NZ based David Klein, and Ryan Fox lifting the trophy the past three years, and Gareth Paddison in 2011.
Plenty of talent and some solid recent form from our boys will hopefully see another NZ name at the top of the leaderboard on Sunday afternoon.
