It’s been almost a year since Wade Ormsby was forced out of the game by a mystery neck injury but after returning to golf in late 2016 he has been trending in the right direction.

And that upward curve seems set to continue at this week’s Trophee Hassan II tournament in Morocco, a venue where the South Australian has played some of his best career golf.

Twice Ormsby has teed up at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam course and both times he has finished top-10, T5 in 2014 and T9 in 2015.

After some excellent play at the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth, where he finished T8, Ormsby also played well at the brutally difficult DLF course to finish T22 at the Indian Open.

That form will have him motivated for another good week on a course that has suited his eye in the past as he plays the 2017 season on a medical exemption.

Ormsby is joined this week in Morocco by 2015 Australian PGA champion Nathan Holman and veteran Richard Green.

Green is trying to play his way back to the Tour after a series of bizarre circumstances saw him lose his playing rights at the end of 2016.

While he was outside the required top 115 on the Race to Dubai, a top-40 position on the career money list entitled him to a one-year exemption should he choose to take it.

However, the sterling play of Alex Noren late in the year saw the Swede overtake Green in 40^th place and the Australian was left with nowhere to play.

Having since secured his card for the Asian Tour, Green is now doing all in his power to get as many starts in Europe as possible and knows a win this week would see him back fully exempt.

Meanwhile, Nathan Holman continues to try to regain the form that saw him claim his maiden European title at the end of 2015 after suffering a loss of form in the aftermath of victory.

Long one of the most promising young players in Australia, a series of missed cuts and uncharacteristically high scores has been a mystery but he is too good a player to remain in the doldrums for long.

Holman makes his debut at this tournament this week and some tournament golf at an unfamiliar venue may be just the tonic required to cure his recent ills.
