Peter Lonard is a two-time winner of the Australian Order of Merit title. He missed out on a third success despite winning the 2004 NSW Open in Sydney the centenary Australian Open and the Australian PGA Championship, after the PGA tour rejected Lonard's request for medical exemption after he suffered a rib injury which forced him to miss February's Heineken Classic.
Injury has plagued the talented New South Welshman's career. In 1992 he contracted Ross River Fever, a mosquito-borne virus that caused chronic fatigue and resulted in massive weight loss and partial loss of vision. This sidelined him for most of 1993 and 1994, Lonard didn't return to being a fulltime professional until 1997.
Lonard then had to overcome a bout of conjunctivitis, caused by over-wearing contact lenses before breaking a bone in his left wrist during the Volvo Scandinavian Masters which saw him miss a large slice of 2000. Now healthy the 37 year old will be aiming to return to the form of 2002 when in his rookie year on the US PGA Tour he played in
20 US Tour events, making the weekend cut in every tournament except
one.

Adam Scott is regarded as the most exciting young Australian golfer since Greg Norman. At the age of 23 years, eight months and 12 days, he became the youngest winner of The Players Championship on the US PGA Tour, an event considered by many to be the game's fifth Major.
Scott is a four-time winner on the US PGA Tour. His initial breakthrough came at the 2003 Deutsche Bank Championship after a second round 62 set up a four stroke win and saw Adam break into the top 20 in the World Rankings for the first time.
