Perth’s Jason Scrivener has made an important leap in the Race to Dubai rankings following his share of 4th place at the European Masters in Crans Sur Sierre this weekend.
In 123rd place in the ranking heading into the event held high above the Rhone Valley in Switzerland, Scrivener’s first top ten of the season comes at an opportune time to secure his playing privileges for next season as he jumps to 78th.
The finish also opens the door for a good run through the lucrative events in September and October to launch him into the top 50 who gain access to the DP World Tour Championship.
Having missed eight of his previous ten cuts, it was a welcome return to form for the 35 year old South African born but Perth raised golfer.
A slow start to his third round when close to the lead proved costly in the end result but it was an encouraging bounce back as he added a final round of 67 to finish three shots behind the playoff between the winner, Matt Wallace and Alfreda Garcia Heredia.
Scrivener earned €135,000.
