Kazuma declared PGA Aus order of merit champion with one tournament still to go.
Locks in his DP World Tour card after an awesome first season as pro (only turned pro in November), and also a starting spot at the Open!
Kobori crowned Order of Merit champion for 2023/2024 - PGA of Australia
Kazuma Kobori will play The Open and join the DP World Tour in 2025 after being declared the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit champion.
And now he get's an invite to the USA PGA Championship next week at Valhalla. Will be a massive step up for him. He really doesnt hit the ball far at all so it could look pretty funny vs some of his playing partners (not that I am expecting him to get much TV coverage during the tournament).

PGA championship about to start at Valhalla, which isn’t an overly exciting course but it’s got some length and some pretty thick and lush looking rough. Forecast isn’t super flash either.
Foxy off early - 1137pm nz time tonight and Kazuma Kobori about 430am NZ. KK may struggle a bit with the length as doesn’t hit the ball far at all but would be awesome if he could make the cut.
Scheffler the shortish fav again (and would get him half way to the season major grand slam) but thinking that Brooks and Bryson could be a couple of golfers to watch who could go well this weekend.
Oh and how about Rory, won his last major in 2014 last time it was here and he’s coming in with good form after winning his last two starts. Or will he just crash and burn??
Can’t wait….love major golf!!

Interesting opening round with Schauffele going super low with a 62 to end at -9, 3 ahead of Finau and Theegala. Rory just one shot behind them then a whole lot at -4 and -3 including a number of big names (Scheffler, Brooks, Bryson, Cam Smith, etc).
The kiwis are battling a bit - Fox +1 and Kobori +2 (got a lot more time TV coverage than I expected). Will need to play very well to make the weekend as anything other than a spectator.

Scottie Scheffler: World number one golfer plays major tournament hours after being handcuffed and charged by police
A witness said the star looked stunned as he was led away and put in the back of a police car with one officer saying he was "going to jail".
Initial thoughts this looks like US copy douchbaggery

Haha, the 2nd and 3rd pics

The Cop grabbed the car and was dragged 10 yards. Anyone who does that has questionable judgement

Questionable judgement from the cop. Who grabs hold of a moving car? This isn't the movies
