Despite it being a quieter week on the global schedule, our touring pros still racked up terrific finishes against the world's best.
Journeyman Terry Pilkadaris started beautifully on his way to a strong week in India on the Asian Tour, while three Aussies cracked the top 20 in Japan as that tour reaches its climax.
Ryan Ruffels leapt to seventh on the money list on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica with a top five of his own there, the Victorian in the middle of a hot run of form to close out 2019.
But we go to South Africa for our #AussieOfTheWeek and not for the first time this year, West Australian Jason Scrivener takes home the honours.
Scrivener finished in outright third at the European Tour's Nedbank Challenge, one of the lucrative Rolex Series events on the schedule, to punch his ticket to the season-ending Tour Championship next week.
So for matching his best ever finish on the European Tour, we salute Jason Scrivener as our latest #AussieOfTheWeek!
