Open 2015 players: Australasia

The standout Australasian players in this years Open tournament are Australians Jason Day (8^th in the world rankings) and also Adam Scott (ranked 11^th in the world rankings).

Day has had a successful past few years in the US Open, managing to finish in the top 10 for the past 3 years. However he’s been less successful in the Open Championship only managing to get a position of 30^th as his best finish.

Adam Scott on the other hand has a much more successful history having achieved a top 5 position for the last three years in the Championship. In 2012 Scott achieved his highest Open place of 2^nd just behind Ernie Els and the following year he won the Masters after he’d come in the top 10 the two years before that.
