Tommy Fleetwood extended his advantage at the top of the Race to Dubai standings at the WGC-HSBC Champions, as Justin Rose moved himself in to contention.
Fleetwood finished in a share of 20th place at Sheshan International, pocketing €76,104 and increasing his lead over Sergio Garcia - who didn't feature - in the race to end the year as European No 1.
Garcia stays in second spot and is just over 865,000 points adrift with three events of the season remaining, while Rose is up seven places in to third after claiming a stunning-two shot win Shanghai.
The Englishman overturned a eight-stroke deficit on the final day to secure a first victory since last year's Olympics, boosting his hopes of topping the money list for the first time since 2007.
"It kind of gives me a realistic chance now, if I was to have a special end to the season with Turkey and Dubai," Rose said after winning his 10th European Tour title.
Rose is up to 2,993,754 points, with Jon Rahm occupying fourth spot after ending tied-36th and Tyrrell Hatton - a two-time winner in 2017 - remains in fifth position.
Ross Fisher has dropped two places to sixth in the standings after a disappointing week in China, while Rafa Cabrera Bello, Alex Noren, Francesco Molinari and Rory McIlroy complete the top 10.
The final three tournaments of the campaign are all Rolex Series events and offer a minimum prize fund of $7million, with the Turkish Airlines Open and Nedbank Challenge followed by the season-ending DP World Tour Championship.
Watch the Turkish Airlines Open throughout the week live on Sky Sports Golf. Live coverage begins with the On the Range show on Wednesday from 1pm.
