McEwan, Campbell improve

world rankings with

'Brabazon' performances

Steven McEwan's joint fourth place finish and Glen Campbell's share of 11th place at the weekend's Brabazon Trophy saw them improved their standings in today's updated R&A World Amateur Golf Rankings.

McEwan, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency, has gone up by 29 places to No 101 while Campbell has made one of the biggest leaps, up 59 places to No 247. The winner, Irishman Niall Kearney, jumped 47 places to No 64.

The other "big" Irish weekend winner, Irish Open champion Shane Lowry, improved by 10 places to No 6.
The world's top 10 (code explanation: if a player has improved by one position from last week, he will have +1 after his points score, if a player has gone down one position, he will have -1 after his points score; if there is no + or -, then he will be in exactly the same position as last week).
