Web.com Tour rookie Brett Drewitt showed plenty of game in posting his best finish on the secondary Tour since graduating from the PGA TOUR China last year.

Drewitt finished T5 in this week’s Chile Classic with a superb 17-under-par total for the week, four behind winner Dawie van der Walt of South Africa.

The 24-year-old held a share of the 36-hole lead in a low scoring event after opening with rounds of 66-64 but fell off the pace at the weekend with a 68-69 finish.

Drewitt finished third on the PGA TOUR China Order of Merit last year to earn limited status to this year’s Web.com Tour where he has made four cuts in five starts. His finish in Chile is his first top 10 result.

Fellow Web.com rookie Oliver Goss continues to impress finishing T11 in Chile with four sub-70 rounds.

Goss has played all five tournaments on the South American swing and while he has missed two cuts has finished no worse than T12 in his other three starts.

The 20-year-old has shot in the sixties in 10 of his 16 rounds this year and while inconsistency is his main problem his ability to go low makes him a likely candidate to graduate to the PGA TOUR next year.

Of the 11 Australians in the field this week only four made the cut, Rhein Gibson (T48) and Adam Crawford (T60) joining Drewitt and Goss.

The rest of the Australian contingent found it tough going with host scoring seeing the cut fall at 4-under-par.

Bryden Macpherson and James Nitties got within three of that number but Ash Hall, Alistair Presnell, Bronson La’Cassie, Scott Gardiner and Steve Allan all finished over par for the first two rounds.
