Suddenly Stenson is No 7 in the world
Sweden’s Henrik Stenson's nine-stroke win in the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa on Sunday has rocketed him up the world rankings to seventh place - a one-tournament improvement of five places.
While Tiger Woods remained at No 1 and Sergio Garcia, Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington, Vijay Singh and Robert Karlsson remained the top six players in the world, Stenson's move relegated Camilo Villegas to eighth and Ernie Els to ninth. Lee Westwood managed to hold on to the 10th position.
Geoff Ogilvy, a winner in Australia, moved up three places to 11th, Anthony Kim dipped three spots to 12th, Jim Furyk dropped two slots to 13th and Steve Stricker dipped one to 14th. Stewart Cink stayed at 15th.
Adam Scott was up one slot to 16th and Perry, who was runner-up to Stenson, was up two to 17th. Those moves dropped Choi to 18th and Justin Rose to 19th, while Miguel Angel Jimenez held onto his spot at 20.
