Australia will be the centre of the golfing universe for a second week running - but this time the foreign invaders have a realistic chance of leaving with the spoils.

The Australian Open will be played mainly on one of the world’s greatest courses, Kingston Heath in Melbourne, with the field also playing one round at nearby Victoria.

And unlike the Australian PGA - where the home players continued to dominate by filling the first five places last week - the Open has been won by overseas golfers six times in the last nine years.

Poland’s Adrian Meronk and Joaquin Niemann of Chile are the most recent winners, while the likes of Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth have also put their names on the trophy in recent years.

There is no McIlroy this time, and Niemann is 9-2 favourite to retain the title, with PGA runner-up Cam Smith next best at 7-1.

    I am reluctant to desert Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen of Denmark, who almost justified each way support when he finished in a share of eight at the Australian PGA.

    A best priced 22-1 means he offers decent each way value again, but I would prefer to make the 80-1 on offer for the ‘Big Rig’ - colourful American golfer Harry Higgs.
