The Sanctuary Cove Pines course awaits the arrival of the 19 player field, with local Gold Coast professional Nick Russell the last player to book his spot following his strong play this week across the four Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series events played in Brisbane.
The unique event will showcase some of Australia’s brightest golfers including Sam Brazel, Brad Kennedy and Anthony Quayle, all of whom currently ply their trade on international Tour circuits.
Brazel has enjoyed another solid year on the European Tour after securing his playing rights via a win at the UBS Hong Kong Open last season, while Queenslanders Brad Kennedy and Anthony Quayle, who both compete on the Japan Golf Tour, will have plenty of local support.
Kennedy has enjoyed time off following his win in the Shigeo Nagashima Invitational SEGA SAMMY Cup in Japan while Quayle caught the attention of Presidents Cup International Team Captain Ernie Els when the pair played together in the final round of the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways last week.
Quayle set the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course alight with a blistering 9-under 63 on Sunday, a new course record. He’s looking forward to teeing it up in the inaugural Mercedes-Benz Sanctuary Cove Shootout while enjoying time back at home on the Gold Coast before returning to Japan.
“I think it’s a really interesting format, the elimination element is going to add a bit of excitement so hopefully we get a good crowd coming out to watch,” said Quayle.
“Anytime we can play something other than regulation stroke-play is always good fun so I’m looking forward to it.”
Below is the complete 19 man field for the Mercedes-Benz Gold Coast Sanctuary Cove Professional Shootout:
This exciting new format is set to attract a lot of interest from Sanctuary Cove Members and the wider golfing community with the 19 Professionals to tee off the 1st tee at 9:45am this Sunday.
A player will be eliminated following each hole until two are left standing on the 18th tee, after which a winner will be crowned.
