His last competitive shot was a monster putt on the final hole at Lake Karrinyup and Jason Scrivener will be looking to parlay that form, and top-5  finish in Perth, to more good play in this week’s True Thailand Classic.

His outright third place at the Perth International was not only his best European Tour result since first joining the circuit in late 2014 but also saw him earn a spot in this week’s field when he would otherwise have been on the alternates list.

The 26-year-old has made the cut in all six tournaments he has played this season but found another gear in his home state with four rounds in the 60’s to finish just two behind winner Louis Oosthuizen.

The boost in confidence from that sustained good play will be invaluable for Scrivener as he continues to climb towards retaining his European Tour card at the end of the season.

Scrivener is one of 13 Australians teeing up in Thailand, an impressive cast drawn from both the European and Asian Tours in the co-sanctioned event.

Defending champion Andrew Dodt will be looking for good memories from last year to spark a revival in form after struggling in the early part of the season.

The Queenslander has made just two cuts in five starts in 2016 and is yet to post a top 50 finish though his form looked somewhat similar prior to last year’s victory.

The two time European Tour winner arrives in Thailand off a missed cut at the Perth International but with a week off in between will no doubt have been working hard on his game.

The other Australians playing this week are: Nathan Holman, Scott Hend, Terry Pilkadaris, Richard Green, Sam Brazel, Kalem Richardson, Unho Park, Adam Groom, Scott Barr, Jordan Sherratt and Wade Ormsby.

Hend could be one to watch this week after finishing T2 behind Dodt last year on the back of a late bogey in the final round.

While his form at the WGC-Cadillac last week wasn’t what he would have hoped, Hend has always played his best golf in Asia and will feel he let one get away at this tournament last year.

The long hitting Queenslander is capable of big swings in form from week to week and his play at Doral gives few clues to what he might produce in Thailand on a course that sets up well for his style of play.

Nathan Holman will also be looking to bounce back from some disappointing play in Florida and, like Hend, he found the Black Mountain course to his liking last year.

He made 19 birdies over the course of the tournament in 2015 to finish T21 but is a more mature and confident golfer now than then.

A close call in Malaysia three weeks ago, where some late struggles saw him finish T8 in a tournament he could have won, will still be on his mind and he will be motivated to silence the demons from that week.

Of the Asian Tour regulars Sam Brazel finished strongly at this tournament last year and has been solid again at the start of 2016.

While he missed his only cut in four starts at the Perth International a fortnight ago he was T11 at Black Mountain Golf Club in 2015 and his game seems well suited to they style of courses presented in Asia.

Brazel has been quietly impressive on the Asian circuit over the last 12 months and a win is not beyond the 37-year-old who would love to achieve it this week with a European Tour card on offer.
