Golfing superstar Rory McIlroy will lead a star-studded field in this week’s Australian Open at Royal Melbourne Golf Club.

After David Puig won the Australian PGA Championship on Sunday, the foreign invasion Down Under continues with McIlroy fronting the charge.

Several local hopes will also be in action, including Cameron Smith, Adam Scott, Min Woo Lee and Marc Leishman.

Will the foreign raid on Australian golf continue or can a local talent salute at Black Rock?
