The Aussies punched above their collective weight once again this week with top 10s earned by Jason Scrivener on the European Tour, Robyn Choi on the Symetra Tour, a T11 to veteran David McKenzie on the Champions Tour and a top 20 in the first PGA Tour Playoff event to Cam Smith.

Minjee Lee came agonisingly close to a first major championship victory, our highest-ranked female golfer reeling off three straight 69s in a brilliant week in the year's first women's major.

But despite Minjee's best efforts she couldn't catch champion Sophia Popov at the AIG Women's British Open, though the West Australian edges ever closer to that breakthrough win with her equal-best finish in a major.

Though it was another West Australian young gun who experienced a life-changing week as Curtis Luck sealed his first victory anywhere in the world since the 2016 US Amateur.

A nervy Sunday didn't derail the eventual champ, Luck banging home a huge putt on the 16th to hit the lead on his way to a first professional title on the Korn Ferry Tour.

With even bigger and better things on the horizon, Curtis Luck is our newest #AussieOfTheWeek!
