Queensland’s Jed Morgan produced one of his best rounds of the year to advance to the final 36 holes in the LUV Golf Promotions event in Abu Dhabi, but he will need to repeat the dose tomorrow if he is to gain one of the three 2024 LIV Golf spots on offer.
24-year-old Morgan, the 2022 (January) Australian PGA Champion and Sydney’s Kevin Yuan were the only Australasians to finish inside the top twenty in today’s second round and therefore remain alive to regain his (Morgan’s) place in LIV Golf for 2024 after having played since its inception 18 months ago.
Yuan also played Liv Golf through its early stages in 2022.
Having been relegated from the LIV Golf roster after a season of disappointing results in 2023, Morgan missed the cut at the Australian PGA Championship and then finished 65th at the Australian Open so his return to form is both surprising and timely.
Other Australasians in the field who were attempting to gain access to the final 20 for tomorrow’s 36-hole shootout but were unable to do so were Ben Campbell who missed out after a playoff between five players for four spots after the group tied at 3 under, Zach Murray, Wade Ormsby and Kerry Mountcastle.
