Rory McIlroy now No 15 in the world

- without hitting a shot since Dubai!

Things are going so well for Rory McIlroy at the moment that he even moves up in the world when he is NOT playing!
After climbing into the top 20 for the first time by winning the Dubai Desert Classic eight days ago, the 19-year-old Northern Irishman has this week moved up a further spot to 15th because of the rolling two-year points system used.
McIlroy is now ahead of Justin Rose and has only five other Europeans ahead of him – Sergio García, Padraig Harrington, Henrik Stenson, Robert Karlsson and Lee Westwood.
The Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines was won by the American Nick Watney. He began last week 184th on the rankings and leaps to 76th.
