Yet Scrivener, who tees it up on his home circuit this week at the 102nd New Zealand Open, believes he has not fully realised his potential as a player.

“Probably underachieved in my opinion,” the 33-year-old told a group of Australian reporters when asked to assess his career from Queenstown today. “I think I have had a solid career in Europe so far, probably should have won a couple of times.

“I feel like definitely the next few years are going to be my best few years. My best golf is ahead of me. I have done a lot of work, put a really good team together and still really healthy and really keen to take my game to the next level.”

That “next level” would be winning in Europe, something Scrivener hasn’t been able to achieve despite 20 top-10s, including two runners-up and five third place finishes.

In fact, Scrivener’s lone professional victory was at the NSW Open in 2017 when he claimed the Kel Nagle Cup by six strokes from a young Lucas Hebert.

“Probably underachieved in my opinion. I think I have had a solid career in Europe so far, probably should have won a couple of times." - Jason Scrivener.

Many who saw that win around Twin Creeks in Sydney’s west thought it was the start of a run for the now World No.200, who has long been known for his immense ball striking talent. However, Scrivener has often fallen away on Sunday’s when in contention, a habit he is fully aware of.

“I just need to put myself in that position a bit more often,” he said. “If you give yourself six or seven chances a year, you are bound to get one or two of them. I think I have put myself in the hunt a few times but I need to do it more often and get really comfortable in that situation.”

Playing events like this week’s New Zealand Open will perhaps offer him those sort of chances, with Scrivener one of the best credentialled players in the tournament tri-sanctioned by the Australasian, Asian and Japan Tours. And if he can play well this week, it might even see him play his first NSW Open since his triumph six years ago.

“I haven’t really set anything in place. I just wanted to come here because I obviously love the event,” he said of the New Zealand Open. “Then if I can play well here, and have a chance of winning the Order of Merit then I will add another in.”

Winning the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit guarantees a DP World Tour card, something Scrivener doesn’t need, but a spot at The Open this year does interest him as he looks to eventually make his way to America.

Moving to Orlando last year in preparation for a tilt at the PGA Tour, Scrivener has status on the Korn Ferry Tour but will instead chase his American dream via Europe and the ten cards on offer through that circuit’s money list.

His hoped for destination the same one as his regular travel partner Min Woo Lee, who despite a tounge in cheek joke at the expense of, Scrivener had high praise for while noting his fellow Perth local's influence on his game.

“I’ve got two kids now and Min Woo, so three children on the road,” Scrivener joked. “Gives me a little bit of a break (when Lee is in America). I love travelling with Min, he’s a great kid.

“It is always nice to see the Aussies doing well. It motivates and inspires you, we play a lot of practice rounds together, Min’s a superstar. He’s got a lot of talent and he is going to go places but it definitely spurs you on and he is going to go places.”
