Several players who are outside or hovering around the all-important top-110 on the Race to Dubai are playing well at this week's KLM Open.  England's Oliver Fisher (118th in the Race to Dubai) leads this pack at -8, currently tied-third.  The 2011 Czech Open champion has struggled since that win and potentially faces a trip to Q-School due to his two-year exemption running out after this season.  France's Julien Quesne (93rd) is also tied-third after two rounds.  The Frenchman is in a less worrisome spot than Fisher, but he'd have his card safe and sound with a top-10 in any of the remaining five events before the "Final Series."  Like Fisher, Quesne's exemption runs out at the end of this season.  Spain's Jorge Campillo (97th) has failed to build off of last season's impressive rookie season.  Much like Quesne, a top-10 would take any pressure off of him to retain his card.  Englishman Matthew Nixon (103rd) is having his best season on Tour so far in his young career.  Two top-10s, most recently a second-place finish at the M2M Russian Open, have kept him on the right side of the top-100.  Nixon needs to keep grinding and not let the pressure of having full playing rights for next season crowd his mind.  Another Frenchman, Anthony Snobeck (161st) has developed more consistency this season as he's only missed two cuts in his last 11 events.  The next two rounds will be the two most important rounds of his season.
