Byrne must wait a week for Dixie Amateur placing

to work its way into R&A World Amateur Rankings

This week's R&A World Amateur Golf Rankings updating does not include the Dixie Amateur which finished on Monday (US time).
That means that Banchory's James Byrne, who finished joint eighth in a quality field, will have to wait until the Week 52 revision before he widens the gap between himself and Ross Kellett (Colville Park), the only other Scot in the world's top 100 amateurs.
Byrne goes down one place to No 40 this week with Kellett No 41, having also gone down one place.
Kellett finished three strokes behind Byrne in joint 28th place in the Dixie Amateur.
To find the third Scot in the world amateur rankings one has to go down to 164th position and former Scottish amateur champion Glenn Campbell (Blairgowrie) who has gone up seven places, as has the next Scot, Mark Hillson (Craigielaw) in 171st position.
The top 10 remains unchanged with France's Victor Dubuisson and Italian wonder teenager Matteo Manassero giving Europe a 1-2 ahead of two Canadians and six Americans who make up the top 10.
England has five players in the top 22 - Stiggy Hodgson (No 13), Matt Haines (No 15), Tommy Fleetwood (No 19), Chris Paisley (No 21) and Darren Renwick (No 22).

Scots ranked in the top 500 are:
40 James Byrne (Banchory) (-1).
41 Ross Kellett (Colville Park) (-1).
164 Glenn Campbell (Blairgowrie) (+7).
171 Mark Hillson (Craigielaw) (+7).
