IDLE RORY McILROY SLIPS DOWN TO SEVENTH IN WORLD RANKINGS

FROM THE GOLFWEEK WEBSITE
Jimmy Walker's second US PGA Tour victory of the 2013-2014 season, at the Sony Open on Sunday, moved him up 15 spots in the latest Official World Golf Rankings.
Walker is now ranked 32nd, a career best.
Also reaching a career-high ranking is fellow Amereican Chris Kirk, who finished second at Sony and moved up 11 spots to 46th.
Rory McIlroy, who did not play this past week, slipped another spot, dropping to seventh. 
Zach Johnson, whose eighth-place finish at Sony was his 10th top 10 in his last 13 ranked events, replaced McIlroy at sixth in the world.
Louis Oosthuizen, who won the European Tour's Volvo Golf Champions, rose from 34th to 27th. It's his best ranking since he was ranked 12th last July.
