The newest Rolex Rankings are out, let’s take a look at some of the biggest moves of the week:
- Both Miyu Yamashita and Lydia Ko moved ahead of Minjee Lee to No. 3 and No. 4 respectively. Yamashita’s move came after her third place finish in her home country of Japan.
- Jeeno Thitikul remains No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings. She has now spent 13 weeks in that position.
- Celine Boutier moved into the top 20, jumping up two spots to No. 19.
- Nasa Hataoka’s win in Japan was only enough to move her seven spots to No. 25 in the rankings.
- Youmin Hwang, who recently won for the first time on the LPGA Tour at the Lotte Championship, won on the KLPGA Tour. This helped her jump four spots and into the top 30 in the Rolex Rankings at No. 29.
- Lindy Duncan continues to climb the rankings, up four spots to No. 44 in the world. She had a strong Asian swing overall with two top-10 finishes. Every ranking point matters for Duncan, who is in play to make her first Solheim Cup appearance next year.
- Yuna Araki, who lost to Nasa Hataoka in the one-hole playoff at the Toto Japan Classic, was the biggest mover in the top 100. She jumped 17 spots to No. 59 in the Rolex Rankings.
- Ruixin Liu’s win in China on the Ladies European Tour was enough to vault her up 39 spots to No. 87 in the Roles Rankings.
