Weekly Top-10 Rankings powered by RBC

MEN’S AMATEUR TOP 10

A down week for a majority of the Top 10 with only three individuals either making gains or maintaining their standing in the world rankings.

Former No. 1 ranked Canadian Garrett Rank slipped 18 spots despite finishing third at the Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship. That follows a runner-up finish last year and winning the event in 2016. It’s is fifth top 3 result in 2018.

The biggest move came outside the Top 10 as Laurent Desmarchais climbed 1,127 spots to vault up to the No. 11 spot in the Canadian rankings after winning the Golf Quebec Junior Provincial Match-Play Championship. It was his third win of the year and sixth top 10 finish in eight events in 2018.

WOMEN’S AMATEUR TOP 10

Unlike their male counterparts, it was a positive week for every member of the Top 10 with Naomi Ko and Ellie Szeryk leading the way, picking up 10 places in the world rankings.

Ko, a member of the Golf Canada National Squad, and Development Squad member Szeryk each picked up points for their showing at the CP Women’s Open. Ko finished 112th while Szeryk was listed as 138th in her first career appearance at the LPGA event.

Outside the Top 10, Tiffany Kong climbed 92 places after placing 122nd in her first ever appearance at the CP Women’s Open. That helped move her up to No. 11 in the Canadian rankings.

Biggest Move:Taylor Kehoe gained 231 spots in the world rankings after finishing seventh at the Randy Wise Junior Open. It’s her sixth straight top 10 result in 2018

MEN’S TOP 10

Top ranked Adam Hadwin gained five places in the world rankings after finishing in a tie for 11th at The Northern Trust, the first event in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The result was worth 8.74 world ranking points for Hadwin – his biggest points-paying finish since a top 10 result at the WGC-Mexico Championship. It also ended a string of back-to-back missed cuts and was his first top 20 finish since May. Hadwin moved up to No. 52 in the FedEx Cup standings, which means he would qualify for the third of four playoff events should he maintain that standing this weekend.

The only other Canadian to qualify for the FedEx Cup, Nick Taylor, missed the cut and that left him outside of the top 100 needed to advance to the next round.

Other notable results: No. 4 Benjamin Silverman finished tied for 58th at Web.com Tour Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship; No. 6 Austin Connelly finished tied for 50th at European Tour D+D Real Czech Masters; No. 7 Corey Conners finished tied for 24th at Web.com Tour Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship; No. 8 Adam Svensson, No. 9 David Hearn and No. 10 Roger Sloan all missed the cut at Web.com Tour Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship;

WOMEN’S TOP 10

Brooke Henderson’s victory at the CP Women’s Open vaulted the 20-year-old into the top 10 of the world rankings. The result was worth 56 world ranking points, her biggest points-paying finish since she won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship last year. It also moved her up to No. 8 in the world, which equals her highest career ranking achieved in December 2016.

Anne-Catherine Tanguay made the biggest move among the Top 10, picking up 22 spots after finishing in a tie for 46th at the CP Women’s Open. That result was worth 1.51 world ranking points – her best points-paying finish of the year.

Alena Sharp picked up four spots after finishing in a tie for 36th at the CP Women’s Open, which was worth 2.07 world ranking points which is her best points-paying result since the Bahamas Classic back in January.
