Jack Wilson plays his first Asian Tour event on international soil this week and takes some hot form from Western Australia to the Bangladesh Open.

Wilson earned his card at the Q-School in January and while he has teed up in two co-sanctioned events since, this week marks his first exclusively Asian start.

The former standout PGA Trainee Professional is in good shape as Thursday approaches having warmed up by winning back-to-back pro-am events in Western Australia last week.

A 7-under 65 at Hartfield country club before flying out will have the 2013 TX Civil & Logistics WA PGA winner confident ahead of the tournament where he is one of 11 Australasians in the field.

Travis Smyth, Steven Jeffress, Matt Stieger, Oliver Goss, David Gleeson and the Kiwi pair of Gareth Paddison and Ben Campbell are also Q-School survivors teeing up in Bangladesh.

Adam Blyth, Marcus Both and Kieran Pratt have all earned starts courtesy of their Order of Merit finishes in 2017.

With one of the smaller purses of the Asian Tour season on offer, the week represents a big opportunity for the likes of Smyth who will likely fly under the radar but will not be out of his depth in this field.

Oliver Goss, too, will be looking for a confidence-boosting week as he has continued to struggle for form since turning Professional in 2013.

Clearly one of the best talents of his generation, the West Australian has the tools to compete at a higher level and a good performance this week would be a significant step forward.
