Neil.

I know he played RM a few years ago as an 18 year old amateur in a Heineken Classic.
I doubt he has played much else.
He is an interesting case. He has missed playing in Australia the last few years and no doubt he has his hand out for some inducements to play.
Is he going to be an American based Australian who rarely plays here - Elkington,Crampton - and lives the rest of his life there or will he be in the mould of Thomson and Ogilvy who did and will come home as soon as their playing days are over?

Mike,

Is there any correlation between regularity of play in Aus and the nationality of their wife? ie. the Aussies with Aussie brides playing at home more often than those with foreign wives?

If I was married to Mrs Day I would play wherever she asked me to......

In June I will be riding the first three stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity.  630km (394 miles) in three days, with 7800m (25,600 feet) of climbing for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.

Scott,
I am not sure. Geoff Ogilvy has an American wife and comes back every year. Appleby is the same.
Senden,Pampling,Goggin,Nathan Green, have Australian wives and come back each year.
Elkington - American wife and rarely came back.
Norman - American wife and came back.

No rules really - but the most annoying Australians are those who go to America and very quickly come to think of home as a backwater.
