James Byrne now 13 in World Amateur Rankings

James Byrne from Banchory is No 13 in this week's R&A World Amateur Golf Rankings. That's a drop of one place from last week.
Seven of the top 10 in the world are from the United States, headed by Peter Uihlein. Recent British amateur championship winner Jin Jeong (South Korea), No 1 for a couple of weeks, is No 2 with American Patrick Reed - who played in the RandA Junior Open when he was Under-16 years, in the No 3 position.
Apart from Arizona State University student Byrne, the only other Scot in the top 100 is Ross Kellett. The Motherwell man is No 63 this week, an improvement of 14 places in a week.
