Information leaked about the golf tournament? (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

open secret

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'information' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'leaked about the golf tournament?' is the wordplay.
'leaked' becomes 'secret' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'about' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the golf tournament?' becomes 'open' (I've seen this before).
'secret' after 'open' is 'OPEN SECRET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for open secret that I've seen before include "Centre pose (anag.)" , "Everyone knows it" , "common knowledge" , "Private matter actually known to many" , "Generally known matter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
