UPDATE: IN-FORM Aussie stars Adam Scott and Jason Day will go head-to-head in the same group on the opening two days of the Australian Open, starting Thursday. In a move sure to see bumper galleries, tournament organisers have paired the two marquee drawcards in a threesome also containing American PGA Tour player Kevin Streelman.Along with Rory McIlroy, Scott and Day - who combined to win the World Cup at the weekend - are rated by bookies as the top picks to win the Stonehaven Cup after both winning tournaments in the last month.Streelman is no mug either, after picking up a Tour win at the Tampa Bay Championships this year.Day outplayed Scott to claim the individual honours at Royal Melbourne and said he was excited to take on his good friend, who is aiming to complete the Australian triple-crown in Sydney after winning the Australian PGA and Masters."Scotty has had a phenomenal year this year. Winning the Masters, winning the Barclays and coming down here and winning two straight away, and playing well last week."The buzz in Australian golf right now is in a good place," Day said.

"I have known Kevin for a while being in the States and Scotty and me and him go way back."I am definitely looking forward to that pairing on Thursday and Friday, and hopefully we put on a good show for the fans and hopefully get some nice weather so people can come out and watch us. I am very excited to come out and play."Day's World Cup win was an emotional one after losing his grandmother and six members of extended family in the Phillipines in Typhoon Haiyan."It was mixed emotions during the start of the week but to go out there and play the way I did in tough conditions at Royal Melbourne, with a lot of good players that were trying to catch me, was an amazing feeling," Day said."The way I handled myself I felt like I really matured in that last round. It felt great and I am really looking forward to getting some good preparation going into this event."It is one of the tournaments I have always wanted to win. It is huge to an Australian. So many great names have been through and won the trophy and to one day hopefully put my name on the trophy would be an amazing honour. This week is going to be tough, we have some good competitors heading down and anyone in any given week out here can step up and play well and win the tournament."
