Torrey Pines played tough, Ripper GC struggled to make a run at The Grange and our top two women enjoyed a week off.
Hira Naveed’s tie for eighth at the PIF Saudi Ladies International was a notable performance that hints at further success in her second year on the LPGA Tour while Scott Hend narrowly missed out on becoming the first Aussie to win internationally on the Legends Tour in Spain.
The next fortnight will likely be pivotal to the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia season standings with the $NZ2 million New Zealand Open to follow the final Webex Players Series event of the season at Castle Hill Country Club in Sydney.
10. Anthony Quayle (Last week: 10)

9. Min Woo Lee (9)
Battled gamely through cold and windy weather to shoot 71 on day one of the Genesis Invitational but dropped from the frame with 77 in Round 2.
