By Alistair Hogg PGA TOUR Eleven Aussies will descend on Jack Nicklaus&apos Muirfield layout in Ohio for this week&aposs Memorial Tournament. The invitation only event draws the world&aposs best including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh and a host of others. Nicklaus has taken a number of measures at his course to ensure it rewards smart golf rather than power hitting. Bunkers will be &aposfurrowed&apos to heavily discourage players from finding the sand and the rough will be long and unruly. World number four Adam Scott will headline the Australian contingent which also includes world number eight and US Open champ Geoff Ogilvy, who will be hoping for a good showing prior to his Open defence at Oakmont next week. Aaron Baddeley, Stuart Appleby and Peter Lonard will also be in action at Muirfield this week.

The Aussie has three Nationwide Tour victories under his belt this season and is the current money list leader. If things keep going this way for Flanagan he might well find himself shoulder to shoulder with the big boys sooner than he thinks.
