“The Victorian Open not only provides an up-close, world class sporting event, but boosts our region’s economy and showcases the Bellarine to the world,” he said.
“The event has become one of Australia’s most distinctive and celebrated
tournaments, bringing men and women together to compete on the same courses, at the same time, for equal prize money.
