Top Storylines to Watch
Can Chris Choy Achieve the Career Grand Slam?
A win this weekend would secure Chris Choy a rare and prestigious career grand slam, joining only James Choy in the tour history to achieve the feat. Partnering with two-time Peaky Open champion Aidan Peyton, Chris has a strong chance of making history. With Aidan's experience and Chris's solid game, they’ll be looking to dominate the field.
Aidan Peyton Looks to Tie for Most Major Wins
Aidan Peyton, already a two-time Peaky Open champion, is gunning for his third title. A win this weekend would tie him with James Choy for the most major victories in Peaky Tour history. Though Aidan will be focused on helping Chris achieve his grand slam, he will undoubtedly be eyeing the record books.
James Choy’s Red-Hot Play
James Choy comes into the event in the midst of an impressive season. With a recent string of low scores, he will look to continue his strong form alongside JP Petrucci. JP is still in search of his first major title, and with James by his side, the odds of JP breaking through look promising.
Can JT Help Colin Capture His First Major?
Colin Drummond has been one of the best players on the circuit without a major victory to his name. This weekend could finally be his moment to shine, with JT Peyton as his partner. The combination of JT’s steadiness and Colin’s determination could be the formula that finally lands Colin his first major win.
Will Ruiraidh Carry Eric to His First Major?
Ruiraidh Sutherland, the lowest handicap in the field, brings plenty of talent and consistency to the tournament. His partner, Eric Stengel, is hoping Ruiraidh’s precise play will be the key to securing his first-ever major victory.
Can Callum Sutherland Defend His Title?
Callum Sutherland returns to the Peaky Open looking to defend his title from last year, this time paired with red-hot Cameron Cleary. Defending any title is a tall task, and with the depth of talent in this year’s field, Callum and Cameron will need to bring their A-game to repeat last year’s success.
Ian Choy Aims to Help Ciaran Sutherland Capture His First Major
Ian Choy comes into the tournament as the defending champion, but this time he’s teamed up with Ciaran Sutherland, who is looking to capture his first major. If Ian can channel his championship experience and help elevate Ciaran’s play, this pairing could be a formidable force.
Can Liam Peyton and Tom Roche Add Another Team Win to Their Record?
Liam Peyton and Tom Roche are no strangers to team success, and they’ll be looking to add another win to their record in this year’s event. With their past chemistry and competitive edge, this is a duo that could quietly sneak up on the leaderboard.
