Jason Scrivener’s timely run of form could end with a place in the Race to Dubai finals as the West Australian lines up in this week’s Sky Sports British Masters at Walton Heath Golf Club in England.

Granted a late place in the field due to his position on the 2017 Final Access List, Scrivener now has a golden opportunity to continue his climb up the Race to Dubai rankings.

In danger of not retaining his card after missing the cut at the Omega European Masters a month ago, Scrivener has accrued more than a quarter of his 393,115 Race to Dubai points in his past three starts to now sit 97th on the Order of Merit.

Not only does it almost guarantee his card for next year with just two full-field events left on the European Tour schedule it puts him within reach of the top 70 who will advance to week one of the finals at the Turkish Airlines Open.

One Aussie who has confirmed his place in the finals is Lucas Herbert who played his way into the British Masters field courtesy of his top-10 finish at last week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland.

Still classified as an affiliate member, two weeks ago Herbert thought the Dunhill Links would be his final event in Europe for the year but having now reached 50th in the rankings is positioned to go all the way through to the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai next month.

While the likes of Scrivener, Herbert, Wade Ormsby, Scott Hend and Kiwi Ryan Fox sit comfortably inside the top 110 cut-off for those who retain their cards for 2019, the E3 million British Masters could be crucial for a handful of Aussies needing to make a late charge.

Sitting 141st in the rankings Brett Rumford doesn’t have a top-40 finish to his name since he was tied for fifth at the Spanish Open in April while Marcus Fraser’s place at 150 could have been much improved if not for a poor finish at the Dunhill Links where he tied for 10th having entered the final round well in contention.

Australia’s best performer in the British Masters 12 months ago, Andrew Dodt, sits four spots behind Fraser in 154th position on the Order of Merit with Sam Brazel a further four spots back in 158th.

Jason Norris earned his place in the tournament courtesy of his win at the tri-sanctioned Fiji International last year but at 208th in the rankings would need to finish in the top two to move inside the top 110.

The European Challenge Tour is in China this week where Dimi Papadatos will have a greater band of Aussies alongside him in his quest to stay in the top 15 on the Road to Ras Al Khaimah rankings.

Joining Papadatos at Sanya Luhuitou Golf Club in Hainan for the Hainan Open are Bryden MacPherson, Dale Brandt-Richards, Kade McBride, Troy Moses, Jack Wilson and Ben Eccles along with Kiwis Fraser Wilkin and Mathew Perry.
