The newest editions of the Rolex Rankings are out, here are some of the biggest movements of the week:
- Unsurprisingly, considering the relatively weaker field at the Blue Bay LPGA, there wasn’t any movement in the top 19, with Jeeno Thitikul keeping her commanding lead over Nelly Korda for the No. 1 spot in the world.
- This week’s LPGA Tour winner, Mi Hyang Lee, was the biggest mover in the top 100, vaulting up 23 spots to No. 60.
- Akie Iwai was in action on the JLPGA this week at the Daikin Orchid Ladies Golf Tournament, and her sixth place finish moved her up three spots and into the top 20 in the world. She now sits just one spot behind her twin sister Chizzy Iwai.
- Auston Kim continued to move up in the rankings as she capped off her excellent Asian swing with a second consecutive top-three finish. Dating back to November, Kim has finished top seven in four of her last six events and has moved up 27 spots to No. 25 in the world in that time period. Kim is now the fourth highest ranked American in the world behind Korda, Angel Yin and Andrea Lee.
- Casandra Alexander moved up five spots after another excellent performance on the LET. Alexander has finished top eight in her last four starts on the LET dating back to last season and now ranks top 50 in the Rolex Rankings.
- Rose Zhang has officially fallen outside of the top 70 in the Rolex Rankings, moving down five spots to No. 73.
- China’s Weiwei Zhang moved dramatically up the rankings after her runner-up finish in her home country of China, moving 29 spots to No. 98.
