The following week he had his best finish as a professional, tied for third in the Euram Bank Open on the Challenge Tour. He followed that up with a T3 at the Kazakhstan Open (with a course record 62), 3rd at the Hainan Open, 3rd at the Foshan Open and 5th at the Ras Al Khaimah Challenge Tour Grand Final (tied course record 63), to finish in the top-15 ranked players (11th) and secured his 2019 European Tour card in his rookie year as a professional.

During this tournament, Crocker made the cut.
