Two down, five to go.

Harrison Endycott’s determination to advance straight to the Final Stage of Web.com Tour Q School took a further two steps on Sunday as he recorded his third straight top-five finish at the PGA Tour Latinoamerica’s San Luis Championship.

By finishing runner-up at the 65 JHSF Aberto do Brasil last month and moving up to 17th on the moneylist, the Sydneysider was able to skip the First Stage of Web.com Q School and a tie for fourth this week in Mexico moved him up to 15th on the Order of Merit.

If the 22-year-old can move inside the top 10 over the course of the next two events in Chile and Peru he will be able to bypass Second Stage while a top-five finish on the Order of Merit at the end of the year would earn him full Web.com status for 2019.

A model of consistency all week with rounds of 69-68-69-69, Endycott stumbled early on Sunday with a double-bogey at the 399-yard par-4 third but bounced back quickly with birdies at five and six to turn in even par.

Starting the back nine with consecutive bogeys had Endycott trending in the right direction before a closing birdie at the par-5 18th moved him up into the top five, six shots behind winner Nicolas Echavarria.

Endycott will this week contest the Volvo Abierto de Chile 2018 in Santiago followed by the Diners Club Peru Open in Lima in pursuit of a place in the top 10 on the Order of Merit.
