Aussie Scott Arnold is new No 1

in World Amateur Rankings

Australian Scott Arnold is the new No 1 in the R&A World Amateur Golf Rankings following the decision of Danny Lee (New Zealand) to turn professional.
The highest ranked British or Irish amateur is Sam Hutsby of England in the No 7 spot.
Craigmillar Park Open winner Gavin Dear (Murrayshall) from Scone is the highest ranked Scot. Even though he has not played competitively since his Edinburgh 72-hole open success, Gavin has dropped from No 33 last week to No 38 this week. Explanation? Five or six players have earned WAGR points in tournaments around the world and jumped ahead of the Scot.
Wallace Booth (Comrie) in No 62 position is the only other Scot in the top 100.
