Nick Dougherty's three points out of four at the Walker Cup at Sea Island, Georgia, has boosted his JJB Sports/Daily Telegraph Amateur Golf Order of Merit ranking.
The Shaw Hill 19-year-old lies sixth with five of his Walker Cup teammates occupying the positions above.
He has 1,532 points, more than 1,000 behind leader Gary Wolstenholme.
Dougherty makes his professional debut at Gleneagles in Scotland next week.
