In another busy week highlighted by the five Aussie women teeing it up at the US Women’s Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco from Friday morning AEST, Scrivener and Day will have their eyes on the added bonus that can come from a strong showing on the European Tour and PGA TOUR respectively.

Third in Denmark last week to move inside the top 100 in the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time in his career, Scrivener enters this week’s Porsche European Open eighth in the three-event US Open qualification series that will award the top 10 finishers each a spot at Torrey Pines from June 17-20.

A tournament with a strong history of Australian winners, this week’s staging of the European Open has had to be reduced to 54 holes starting Saturday due to Germany adding the UK to a COVID-19 ‘red list’ that requires visitors to observe a period of quarantine when entering the country.

While Scrivener’s world ranking continues its ascension, Jason Day’s is heading in the opposite direction, ranked No.69 in the world entering the Memorial Tournament at his home club of Muirfield Village in Ohio.

Tied for fourth in this event last year, Day would likely need something even better to play his way inside the top 60 by tournament’s end and earn a late US Open exemption on a course where he has enjoyed success dating all the way back to his Callaway World Junior title as a 16-year-old.

It’s a strong representation of Aussies at the tournament synonymous with Jack Nicklaus with Cameron Smith, Marc Leishman and Adam Scott all joining Day in the field along with Cam Davis, Matt Jones and Lucas Herbert.

The Australian contingent at the US Women’s Open has also been bolstered by the qualification of former Brisbane junior Emily Mahar.

A standout the past four seasons at Virginia Tech university, Mahar showed tremendous composure to execute under pressure at a qualifier in Virginia, playing her way into her first Major by winning a 3-for-1 playoff.

She joins Minjee Lee, Hannah Green, Sarah Kemp and Sarah Jane Smith along with Kiwi Amelia Garvey chasing Major championship glory.

Elsewhere around the planet there are Aussie pros in action in Korea, Japan, the Czech Republic, France, North Carolina and
