Geoff Ogilvy has chalked up some impressive results abroad, but a major tournament victory in his homeland has eluded the world No.14, something Ogilvy's looking to amend when he tees off at this week's Australian PGA Championship in Coolum.
Ogilvy claimed a U.S. Open title in 2006 and earlier this year snapped Tiger Woods' six-tournament winning streak at the World Golf Championships - CA Championship, before momentarily breaking into the top five in the world rankings.
When his winless record in Australia was raised on Tuesday, Ogilvy was a man of few words.
"It'll happen one day, hopefully," Ogilvy quipped.
The highest ranked golfer in Australia, Ogilvy has had a quiet preparation for the Australian PGA, but his form-line has been an impressive one.
After having a lengthy break from the game, Ogilvy was in contention at the HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai held in early November.
His two-under par 70 in the final round saw him finish one shot off the pace behind world No.2 Sergio Garcia and Oliver Wilson.
"I played well there, I am generally not wonderful after having six or seven weeks off … but I played pretty well, I was in it for most of the week right up to the last couple of holes," Ogilvy said.
"I missed the play-off by a shot, but I was pretty happy with that after eight weeks off."
The 31-year-old has since enjoyed a few weeks off back home, but he has kept in good touch while having a 'hit and giggle' with some friends in Melbourne.
"I did have a pretty good day at Woodlands, I had lots of birdies, a hole in one, had another eagle on a par five, I never really added up the score but it was a pretty good one."
"Shanghai was good and I've played a few games at home and they were pretty decent."
Ogilvy was hopeful he could claim a maiden PGA win in his first tournament on Australian soil this season.
"Golf is a weird game, golf comes and goes, so you never really know what's going to go on, but there have been all the signs out there that (my) golf is pretty good at the moment."
"I've had a couple of weeks off and am ready to play a couple here, it'll be good."
"I played this morning and I played a few holes on the weekend (in Coolum), it's nice, the greens aren't as fast as they have been before … but it's perfect, the bunkers are good, the greens are good, it's nice to play in warm weather and sunshine."
A second place finish in 2001 at Royal Queensland remains Ogilvy's best Australian PGA result.
While his land of birth may not have been kind to Ogilvy in a golfing sense, the globetrotting father of two is looking forward to enjoying time with his family, who calls his children 'the best psychologists you can take on tour'.
"I know a lot of guys are like this (on tour), you couldn't leave the golf at the golf course, you'd get back to your room and have nothing to do but worry about your golf and kick stuff around the room because your golf's no good."
"When you've got your family and your kids back, you can be as angry and as headless as you can be."
"But as soon as you get into the room
