Who wins is anyone’s guess though.
As usual the two-day event has drawn a bumper field and, considered hopes for every Open they play in, the blockbuster group of home course guns will be tough to beat.
Heading that group is defending champion Robert Payne – who’s won the event a dozen times – and 2015 champion James Conran, who is fresh off winning his maiden NAB Country Club Open title.
Payne won last year’s title from Conran as well, so the duo is no stranger to duking it out on the fairways and greens of their home course.
The 2017 Duntryleague Open is the third of Orange and Blayney’s four majors, with the Wentworth equivalent to finish a massive month of competition next weekend. The Duntryleague Open kicks off on Saturday and finishes on Sunday.
