Chief Executive of Golf NSW, Mr Stuart Fraser, said last year’s championship was an outstanding success, and he was expecting this year to be even better.
“Last year’s tournament was a thriller. We were privileged to see a fantastic battle down the stretch between Grant Kenny and Peter Senior on the final day.
“It was a real plus to see the number of golf fans from the region who turned out to walk the fairways with the stars during the entire event.
“The support the Albury region has shown to the tournament has been fantastic. We are delighted to be back,” Mr Fraser said.
