Nick Voke's viewing this week's Australian Golf Open as another opportunity to learn and grow

The rookie kiwi pro's had a stellar year, highlighted by three victories on the Chinese PGA Tour and tees off this afternoon at the Lakes Golf Club in Sydney.

The field includes 13 Kiwis and is bolstered by addition of top 50 ranked American's Keegan Bradley, Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker.

Voke says the tournament's a bigger stage to what he's used to, so he's interested to see how he responds.

He says it's a chance to see if his tendencies come out and how his game is under the pressure.
