South Australian Wade Ormsby was brilliant in Sweden on the European Tour, cracking the top five for the first time since the ISPS Handa Vic Open in February.

And while Queensland young gun Maverick Antcliff added a T2 two his three wins on the CGA Tour this year, veteran Cam Percy booked his return to the PGA Tour with a T11 finish in the second Korn Ferry Tour finals event.
