Jorge Campillo climbs to No 9 in
world behind Daniel Willett

FROM THE R&A WEBSITE
In the busiest week of the 2008 men's amateur season so far a total of 50 counting events were played in nine countries and over 15,000 rounds of golf were surveyed in compiling The R&A World Amateur Golf Ranking.
England's Daniel Willett retains his position as the world's leading amateur and Joel Sjoholm of Sweden has moved up one place to No 5. Both players had a break from stroke play golf last week when successfully representing Europe in the Michael Bonallack Trophy at Valderrama.
But the man in form is Jorge Campillo of Spain, a 21-year-old Indiana University student who has broken into the top-10 in with his third win in three weeks.
Spain's leading amateur climbed to No 9 in the Ranking with his victory in the Big Ten Championship at East Lansing, Michigan.
In the previous two weeks he had won the Boilermaker Invitational at West Lafayette, Indiana, and the Missouri Tiger Intercollegiate in Columbia.
