Having jumped into the top-30 on the
Web.com Tour money list Brett Drewitt will be looking to solidify his position
with a good performance at the inaugural Nashville Golf Open this week.

The tournament was announced as part of the
schedule early in the year and with none of the players having tournament
experience at the Nashville Golf and Athletic Club the field starts with a
clean slate.

Drewitt will be disappointed with his play
last week after he failed to break 70 in any round of the Rust-Oleum event.

The 25-year-old had been building momentum
the two previous events with a T2 and T19 and while T33 last week wasn’t
disastrous, Drewitt is tantalisingly close to the top-25 money earners and a
chance at a PGA TOUR card.

Presently sitting 29^th on the
money list with a little over half the season gone, Drewitt is likely only a
handful of good finishes away from claiming one of the 25 automatic cards on
offer for 2017 but he needs to maintain consistency.

He will be one of eight Australians to tee
up this week, fellow Web.com regulars Steve Allan, Peter Lonard, Bryden
Macpherson, Mathew Goggin, Oliver Goss, Greg Chalmers and Scott Gardiner also
in the field.

Goss, too, is coming off a disappointing
finish last week after playing his way into the top-five with one round to go
only to fade on Sunday to finish T14.

However, it was three good rounds from Goss
to get into contention and in a year where he has missed more cuts than he has
made that is a big step in the right direction.

Goss is one of four Australians presently
outside the top-100 on the money list and in need of a quick turnaround in form
to keep playing in 2017.

Mathew Goggin, Peter Lonard and Scott
Gardiner are also in the same position, though Lonard is heading for the
Champions Tour next season and Gardiner is returning from a lengthy injury
layoff.

Greg Chalmers (67), Steve Allan (73) and
Bryden Macpherson (83) are inside the top-100 but a long way from the top-25
who will graduate at season’s end.
