TIGER WOODS UP TO No SIX IN WORLD RANKINGS

FROM THE SKY SPORTS.COM WEBSITE
Tiger Woods has climbed 12 places to sixth in the world rankings after his Arnold Palmer Invitational victory.
After a US PGA Tour drought that stretched over 923 days and 27 tournaments, Woods finally returned to the winner's circle with a comprehensive five-shot victory from runner-up Graeme McDowell.
It was Tiger's seventh win at Bay Hill and returned him to the top 10 for the first time since May 22.
He's now the second top ranked American in the rankings, one spot behind fifth-placed Steve Stricker.
McDowell's second place lifted him from 17th to 13th.
Further down the list, there was good news for Paul Lawrie (46th) and Ben Crane (49th). By being inside the top 50 in the world following Sunday's action, both have won a spot in The Masters.
