Aussies On Tour: July 15
There is no doubt that Brett Coletta will be happy to pick up our # AussieOfTheWeek tag today.
But no matter how prestigious that may be, you can't help but think it's far removed from the spirit of the Victorian, since he's thinking about what could have happened during the TPC Colorado Championship of the Korn Ferry Tour.
Coletta, who turned 23 last week, delivered a professional result abroad with a second place on the secondary American tour.
It took a close-hole birdie by his playing partner – Nelson Ledesma of Argentina – to beat him, but the outright second place was enough for the former Queensland Open champion to slip into No.25 on the KFT cash list.
If he can stay 25 years or better after the last seven games of the tour season, he will earn his main PGA Tour card next year.
On a otherwise relatively flat weekend for Aussies abroad, Minjee Lee and Su Oh both played a large part on the LPGA Tour with each recording a share of the 19th in the Marathon Classic in Ohio.
The LPGA Tour has another tournament – the inaugural Dow Great Lakes Bay Classic team event this year – before going to Europe for back-to-back major championships.
