Former world No.1 amateur golfer Curtis Luck has sealed priority status on the Web.com Tour in the US to take a step closer to a permanent home on the lucrative PGA Tour.
The talented Australian carded a final round five-under par 67 to finish 22 under and tied for third in the final stage of qualifying in Arizona.
The 21-year-old was six shots behind the winner, American youngster Lee McCoy, with the top 45 and ties gaining priority status for 2018.
Luck's performance over the four days resulted in an exemption into the first 12 events of the Web.com Tour next season.
Australian Open champion Cameron Davis (74) and fellow Australians Brett Drewitt (70) and Ray Beaufils (68) finished outside the top 45, but will have conditional status next year.
