Russell Knox now has world ranking of No 31
Russell Knox started the HSBC Champions tournament as world No 85, but has jumped up to a career-high of world No 31 after his two-shot win in Shanghai.
That win is all-but certain to see him end the year in the world's top 50, securing his invitation to the majors in 2016.
As winners of WGC events get automatic European Tour exemption for three years, Knox now has European Tour membership until the end of the 2018 season should he want it. Should the Scot decide to take it up, then he would put himself in consideration to reach Darren Clarke's Ryder Cup side next autumn.
