Out of the last 100 majors how many have Australians won?

Yes, one major win is probably just a fluke artist. Unfortunately that accounts for nearly all Australian major winners from modern history.

In both men's & women's golf we are right up there. In the Mens the yanks are miles ahead of everyone - Sth African s probably second & us third. Sth Koreans miles ahead in the Womens & again we are probably in the mix for third or 4th.

Isn't wonderful there is a lucrative country like the states where your downunder golfers can actually make a good living and get international recognition.  It appears that OZ is also filling our college football teams with excellent field goal kickers and a few descent basketball players.  We are even having to suffer now with some OZ ex-pats becoming daily news TV contributors and political rag columnists.  Thank God for the likes of Baker-Finch who facilitated our better understanding of the Australian language for the past few decades or none of them would make audible sense.

2 aussies & 1 spaniad on the podium Shammy 

Hmm Maxie, he was a rabid anti vaxxer as well.

Smith and Jones must have felt more welcome and some "relief" on our stateside island, than back in OZ where your draconian restrictions might have impaired their chances of getting to the tournament. Maybe that relief was exemplified in their performance.  If you think about, with the exception of some limited international team play, they are our "choosy" talents now.  Even the Spaniard.

Just curious.  What's the downunder thinking about the new Saudi pro tour?

The Great White Gummy has found his prince.

Cricket is starting to show signs of distress. BBL is waning as is traditional one day game. Loss of free to air coverage in some areas of the game not helping. And now women's game competing. Season too long going well into Feb when other sports like NRL being hyped up. Think the game is starting to show what happens when you splinter it & get greedy. 

A magnificent achievement in anyone's language. Women's golf has improved out of sight in recent years - & their short game is very close to matching the men.

The above article heading is a touch misleading though. The men & women played off different tee's to allow for driving difference between the two. Also should note Hannah is a class act - currently ranked 30th in the world. I doubt if any of her male opponents ranked in the top 500 (haven't checked though)

  

Great stuff.
