Not since the 2020 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open on the DP World Tour in 2020 had Antcliff (pictured, centre) featured so prominently on an international leaderboard, posting 9-under at the International Series Morocco on the Asian Tour to earn a share of third.

The top of the leaderboard in Morocco was littered with Australasian talent.

Kiwi Denzel Ieremia finished alongside Antcliff at 9-under as John Lyras made a successful return to tournament golf, finishing tied for eighth along with South Australian Jack Buchanan.

Aussies were prominent in Europe, also.

After an indifferent start to her Ladies European Tour, Kirsten Rudgeley made it back-to-back top 10s with her best result in Europe since finishing runner-up in France last September.

While world No.1 amateur Lottie Woad completed a dominant six-stroke win at the Women’s Irish Open, Rudgeley (pictured, right) was tied fifth, New Zealand’s Amelia Garvey moving into 10th on the Order of Merit with her third top-three finish in her past four stars.

The Aussie flag featured twice inside the top five at the Swedish Strokeplay Championship on the LET Access Series.

Justice Bosio solidified her position at the top of the Rookie of the Year standings and fifth on the Order of Merit with a third top-five finish in her past five starts as Stephanie Bunque (pictured, left) earned a share of third, her best result in Europe in two years.

The 2023/2024 Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit winner, Kazuma Kobori, took a massive step towards retaining his DP World Tour status with a third-place finish at the BMW International Open.

It is the second year in succession that the Order of Merit winner has made a move in Germany.

Twelve months ago David Micheluzzi was second in Munich, Kiwi Kobori climbing 29 spots into 44th on the Race to Dubai ranking.
