PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC – AUGUST 31: Dean Burmester of South Africa plays his second shot from a bunker on the 13th hole during day one of the D+D REAL Czech Masters at Albatross Golf Resort on August 31, 2017 in Prague, Czech Republic. (Photo by Ross Kinnaird/Getty Images) /

Dean Burmester is quietly having a solid year primarily playing on the European Tour.

The 29-year-old South African is hoping to make his eighth straight cut this week. That stretch includes two top-10s and nothing worse than a T56.

Burmester posted a T3 to start the streak at the Investec Royal Swazi Open on the African Tour and bookended it with a T9 in his last start at the Scottish Open.

After a five-week break, Burmester is primed to play some more good golf leading into the Race to Dubai Final Series.

Burmester has almost mastered Albatross, posting a T35 in his debut in 2016 and a T14 in 2017. I envision more improvement this time around.

He is 28th on the European Tour in par-5 scoring and can let loose this week (sixth in driving distance). Aside from putting he’s above average in all categories.

I see him being able to get by hitting lots of greens and hoping enough fall for birdie.
