 The Australian Open Golf Tournament - 24-27th November 2005
The Australian Open Golf tournament is the pinnacle of the Australian Golfing calendar. The Australian Open draws the top players from all around the world.
2005
The 2005 Australian Open saw some great action as Robert Allenby limped to his first-place after a one-shot win after fighting an injury to the nerves in a finger on his right hand during the last round. Allenby fell to a last round of 77 after begining the day with a 5-shot lead. With this bad final round score, he still finished four-under par over the tournament to pick up the first place purse of $225,000.
2004
The Australian open celebrated it's centenary in 2004 with some of the best golfing action seen in Australia today. The Australian Open tour organizers also invited golfing legend Arnold Palmer to attend the 2004 event. Arnold played an exhibition round at the Australian Golf club prior to the event.
With 2003 champion Peter Lonard successfully defending his title in 2004, this competition was one of the greatest so far with Stuart Appleby nipping at the champion's heels throughout the tournament.
