Former Golf NSW state teammates Kelsey Bennett and Grace Kim will play together in the marquee group when the Australian Women’s Classic finally kicks off tomorrow morning here on the NSW Coffs Coast.

Bennett, making her LET debut, and Kim, who won the LPGA’s Lotte Championship in 2023 will play alongside England’s Cara Gainer. The group tees off at 9.20 am (AEDST).

The Golf NSW co-sanctioned event between the Ladies European Tour and the WPGA has been shortened to 54 holes following the aftermath of Cyclone Alfred, which dumped more than 500mm of rain on the picturesque Coffs Harbour Golf Club in the lead-up.

Players can walk the course after midday today, but no golf will be played as officials continue to prepare the layout for the three-day shootout. The course is still damp, and preferred lies are likely for the event.
