THE ISPS Handa Vic Open titles begin today (Thursday, February 6) at 13th Beach Golf Links in Barwon Heads.<\/p>\n
The Open will feature a mix of domestic and international golfers.<\/p>\n
Both winners from 2019, Celine Boutier of France and David Law of Scotland, are returning to defend their titles.<\/p>\n
But they will have plenty of competition, as eight of the previous men\u2019s winners and four of the previous women\u2019s winners are also teeing off.<\/p>\n
Golf Australia head of operations Simon Brookhouse said he was delighted to see such a quality line up for the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very lucky to have such great depth in both fields.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we\u2019re certain to have two worthy champs come Sunday night.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are plenty of Australian talents who may also compete for the Open.<\/p>\n
Western Australia\u2019s Minjee Lee remains the only Australian to have won the women\u2019s category and the only person to have won it multiple times.<\/p>\n
Fellow Australians Hannah Green, Sarah Kemp, Katherine Kirk and Su Oh will likely be among Lee\u2019s main competitors.<\/p>\n
In the men\u2019s category, 2017 winner Dimi Papadatos from new South Wales could be a\u00a0strong contender.<\/p>\n
There are also several Victorians with capable of challenging, including Geoff Ogilvy, Matt Griffin and David Micheluzzi.<\/p>\n
The Open runs from February 6-9.<\/p>\n
Tickets are $10 for the day and $30 for a season pass.<\/p>\n
