MOUL NEW WORLD NO 1
AMATEUR GOLFER

England international Jamie Moul has moved up to No 1 in the latest R&A World Amateur Golf Rankings. The 22 year old from Stoke-by-Nayland Golf Club, Suffolk has jumped up from third on the previous list to demote the previous No 1, Belfast teenager Rory McIlroy to second spot.
US Amateur champion Richie Ramsay (Royal Aberdeen) is third while the next best British player is English Walker Cup veteran Gary Wolstenholme, who has moved up one spot to 10th following a victory in Australia.Although Moul had a disappointing performance in the recent Jones Cup tournament in Georgia, the R&A World Amateur Golf Rankings are based on a 52-week average.
Consequently players can drop down the rankings if they had a good week a year ago which is now discounted.
The top 10 placings are:
1 J Moul (Eng), 2 R McIlroy (Ire), 3 R Ramsay (Sco), 4 P Martin (Spa), 5 Kyung Tae Kim (Kor), 6 C Kirk (US), 7 R Davies (Wal), 8 W Simpson (Eng), 9 B Horschel (Eng), 10 G Wolstenholme (Eng).
Other Scots in the top 100 are:
39 L Saltman, 48 P O'Hara, 63 C Macaulay, 66 J Gallagher, 74 D Stewart, 85 S Henry, 98 J King.
