Australian golf experts’ tipping challenge – round 2
Australia’s golf experts give their picks for this week’s Australian Open.
We’ve pitted some of Australia’s golf experts against each other to see who can make the best predictions for the three big Australian golf tournaments over the coming month.
After round 1 at the Australian Masters, Martin Blake, Richard Hinds and Grant Dodd lead the way.
We’re going to use a similar point scoring system to the F1’s for the Talisker Australian Masters, Emirates Australian Open and Australian PGA Championship. Three picks for each expert and all points are totalled.
| Finish | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6-10 | 11-15 | 16-20 | 21-25 | 26-30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 25 | 18 | 15 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
