		The Australian Open is one of the principal annual golf tournaments on the PGA Tour of Australasia.
		It is one of the "national opens" which have a special status in the Official World Golf Rankings's points system, with a minimum level of points guaranteed for the winner regardless of the strength of the field.
		However, in recent years less leading international players have entered and the winners list has come to be dominated by Australians again.

	Australian Golf Open moved to avoid Davis Cup clash - Sept. 26, 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The national open was to have been played on the same November 28-30 slot as the Davis Cup final with the local Seven Network having broadcasting rights to both events.
		Initially, the Open golf was to finish earlier each day, allowing Seven to broadcast the tennis at night--but the expected decision to play the final on grass has prevented that because the surface would be too slippery at night.
		But Australian Golf Union chief Colin Phillips can see a bright side to the date change saying it would help the Open which was struggling to get name players in November.

		Only three years after the Open lost an entire round when greens became unplayable in perfect spring weather, the elements struck again - and again the damage was done in conditions that were not extraordinary.
		Under instructions from the championship organiser, the Australian Golf Union, the 12th green was watered before each subsequent group arrived on it.
		West Australian Stephen Leaney, who, along with Peter Fowler was playing with O'Malley, said the anger the players were already feeling was only deepened when they saw the water going onto the green as they walked down the next fairway.
