Retaining his European Tour card for 2019 is now within reach for Jason Scrivener after the 29-year-old stormed home with a round of 6-under 65 in the KLM Open at The Dutch Golf Club in The Netherlands on the weekend.

China’s Ashun Wu led from day one and completed his third European Tour win with a 67 in the final round, one shot clear of England’s Chris Wood.

The Sunday surge up the leaderboard could have major ramifications for Scrivener whose 65 moved him up 24 spots to finish tied for 15th and earn 28,392 Race to Dubai points, moving him up to 111th in the standings.

The top 110 players on the order of merit at the end of the year keep their cards for next year and Scrivener’s best finish since the Dubai Desert Classic in January has put him well and truly back in the frame.

Fellow Australian Adam Bland is the man currently keeping Scrivener out of the top 110, the South Australian moving up 21 spots in the final round with a 4-under 67 to finish tied for 46th and earn 9,870 points, putting him just 492 points ahead of Scrivener.

Six birdies in his final round saw Wade Ormsby record a top-20 finish and solidify his place inside the top 50 of the Race to Dubai rankings while Lucas Herbert remains in the hunt to turn limited starts into a full card in 2019.

Consecutive rounds of 2-under 69 on the weekend was enough for the 22-year-old to finish tied for 28th and sit 103rd in the Race to Dubai rankings from just 15 starts to date.

Despite a disappointing double bogey to commence his final round Sam Brazel’s tie for 28th was his best result since the Oman Open in February with Queensland’s Andrew Dodt finishing alongside Bland at 2-under for the week and tied for 46th.

Dimitrios Papadatos has maintained his position inside the all-important top 15 on the European Challenge Tour’s Road to Ras Al Khaimah rankings thanks in no small part to his stunning final round at the Kazakhstan Open.

Scotland’s Liam Johnston moved up to fourth on the moneylist courtesy of his two-shot win at the Zhailjau Golf Resort but fueled by a front nine of 31 Papadatos was able to climb 17 positions on the leaderboard to finish tied for 37th and 15th on the money list.

The only other Australian in the field at Kazakhstan, Jack Munro, did not qualify for the weekend.
