MEN’S TOP 10
Top ranked Adam Hadwin climbed two places in the world rankings after just missing his third top-10 result in the last four weeks, finishing in a tie for 12th at the PGA’s Valspar Championship – an event he won a year ago. The result was worth 5.53 world ranking points and moved him up to No. 42 in the world, improving upon his career-best showing
One of the biggest moves of the week comes from outside the Top 10 as No. 11 Corey Conners jumps 89 spots in the world rankings after finishing in a tie for 16th at the PGA’s Valspar Championship. It was his career-best finish in a PGA event and was worth 3.45 world ranking points, his second best points-paying finish since a runner-up result two years ago on the Canadian Tour. Looking to follow in the footsteps of fellow Canadian Adam Hadwin who won the event a year ago, Conners was the 54-hole leader before a final round 77 dropped him off the top of the leaderboard.
Another big move came from Sunil Richard Jung Bell, who gained 331 spots in the world rankings after finishing in a tie for second at the China Tour Shenzhou Peninsula Classic. It’s his career-best result to date and was worth 3.00 world ranking points. Bell moves from No. 17 up to No. 13 in the Canadian rankings.
Other notable results: No. 3 Mackenzie Hughes, No. 4 Nick Taylor and No. 6 Benjamin Silverman all missed the cut at PGA Valspar Championship; No. 8 Adam Svensson finished tied for 39th at the Web.com Tour El Bosque Mexico Championship; No. 9 Roger Sloan missed the cut at the Web.com Tour El Bosque Mexico Championship; No. 10 Richard T Lee withdrew from the Asian Tour-European Tour Hero Indian Open;
