Jason Scrivener logged his best result of the new DP World Tour season finishing fourth in the Ras Al Khaimah Championship in the United Arab Emirates over the weekend.

The 35-year-old Scrivener finished just outside the top 20 in the Dubai Desert Classic the week before, and as a a result has jumped to 20^th on the Race to Dubai rankings.

Moving his family – wife Simone and two children – back to Australia and an illness impacted his 2024 season, but the Western Australian says he feels invigorated for the short breaks that he had from the game.

It was his best result since he was runner-up at the Australian PGA Championship in 2022. In his 11^th consecutive season in Europe, Scrivener is still chasing his first win, but he picked up the equivalent of $125,000 for his efforts.

There are four Australasians in the top 20 on the DP World Tour – Kiwi Daniel Hillier (2^nd), Elvis Smylie (6), David Micheluzzi (15) and Scrivener (20). The top 10 at season’s automatically earn dual membership of the PGA Tour.

The other highlight of a quiet weekend for Australians was Kevin Yuan’s fourth place on the Asian Tour at the Phillipine Open.
