Jed Morgan heading for The Open and the US Open
On 16 January 2022 Jed Morgan smashed multiple records on his way to making history when he won the Australian PGA Championship. Now he is heading for the majors, including The Open at St Andrews and the US Open Championship.
From Golf Australia, Australian Golf Media release:
Jed Morgan will play in his first majors, this year’s U.S. Open and Open Championship, after securing the Norman Von Nida Medal as the Order of Merit champion on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia.
The talented Queenslander, just 22, was confirmed as the winner today by the PGA Australia Chair Rodger Davis, with an unassailable lead ahead of the Tailor-Made Building Services NT PGA Championship, the final event of the Tour.
The rising star of Australian golf earned just over $190,000 for the season, with the PGA of Australia ensuring the Norman Von Nida Medallist would have automatic entry to the U.S. Open at Brookline Country Club next month, and The Open Championship at St. Andrews in July.
For the first time ever, Morgan will form one of three players on the Australasian Tour to gain a DP World Tour playing card, with the top three placed on the Order of Merit gaining exemption.
The 2022-23 DP World Tour season will begin at Morgan’s hometown of Brisbane in November at the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland, the same event that he won in stunning fashion earlier this year. Read more
