With many of the European Tour’s top players in the US preparing for the US Open in two weeks’ time rookie Jason Scrivener gets a chance to show off his game at this week’s Nordea Masters.

As a Qualifying School graduate Scrivener
doesn’t get automatic access to all tournaments and with limited opportunities
so far in 2015 has struggled to play his best golf.

The Nordea Masters will be his ninth start
in what has been a difficult season so far with just three cuts made but as the
bigger tournaments of the northern summer unfold he will have more opportunities
to build momentum and turn his year around.

Scrivener got off to a fast start in Africa
with a T11 finish in his first European Tour start but has struggled since to
produce his best golf when he has gained starts.

He is joined in this week’s field by fellow
European Tour rookie Scott Hend as well as veterans Wade Ormsby, Richard Green
and Marcus Fraser.

Green comes into the week off an excellent
performance at the difficult Irish Open and has some form at the PGA Sweden
National course where he finished T40 last year but could have been much
higher.

The 44-year-old was in a share of 14^th
through two rounds but slumped to a disappointing 76 in round three to tumble
down the leader board.

Of the others Marcus Fraser plays the
tournament at this course for the first time though has had some decent results
in Sweden in recent years.

He was T4 at this event at the Barseback
course in 2009 and in his last appearance in 2012, when it was played at Bro
Hof Slott, he was T14.

Scott Hend comes into the week off a disappointing
final round at Royal County Down and while a share of last place in Ireland
wasn’t what he was looking for making the weekend in extreme conditions
suggests his game is not all bad.

Wade Ormsby didn’t survive the 36-hole cut
last week or at Wentworth the week before but that is likely just a blip in an
otherwise decent year.

The South Australian was T9 at the Spanish
Open three weeks ago on the back of a brilliant final round and has already
posted three top-10’s in an excellent follow up to his best career season last
year.
