Manitoba's Aaron Cockerill's European Tour adventure continues this week at the Australian PGA Championship on the Gold Coast, Queensland at the venerable RACV Royal Pines GC, north of Brisbane.

While temperatures in the Canadian prairies are in a deep freeze, reaching temperatures -40*c, Aaron started his first year on tour in +45*c at Leopard Creek in South Africa, the first time pro's were allowed to play in shorts. The following week he was in 35*c at the Afrasia Bank championship on the island of Mauritius.

This week with fires raging around the coastline of Australia, the highest temperatures in that countries history are forecast, surging above 50*C.

Cockerill returns home for Christmas next week. You can only imagine his face when he steps off the plane in Winnipeg !!

Adam Scott is the headliner on a field made up of mainly Aussie's and Kiwi's. Presidents Cup star Cameron Smith is from Brisbane and is vying for his 3rd consecutive title and the Joe Kirkwood Cup.
