Brendan has arrived safe and sound in Atlanta for this week's PGA Chamionship at the Atlanta Athletic Club. Although he has noticed the stark contrast in temperature to that he has been experiencing in Canberra in recent weeks he is pleased to be playing the PGA Championship.

"I have played a couple of rounds already," said Brendan on Monday evening Atlanta time. "The weather has been very hot but I like what I see of the course.

"It is a long layout but is in great shape and the greens are very fast although at this stage a little soft. The golf course generally however is firming up."

Brendan gets to play with Scottish golfer, Martin Laird, and American, Brendan Steele, at 8.10am on day on Thursday.
