[Asia Economy Golf Specialist Reporter Kim Hyun-joon] ○…'US Open Champ' Bryson DeChambeau (USA, photo) has risen to 5th place in the world rankings.

In the weekly official golf world rankings announced on the afternoon of the 21st (Korean time), he received 7.70 points, climbing four spots from 9th place last week. He accumulated points by winning the 120th US Open (total prize money $12.5 million) of the PGA Tour, which ended that morning at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York (par 70, 7,477 yards). This was his 7th career win in two months, following the Rocket Mortgage Classic in July, hitting a 'jackpot' of $2.25 million (26.2 billion KRW).

The 'Top 4' remain unchanged with Dustin Johnson (USA), Jon Rahm (Spain), Justin Thomas (USA), and Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland). Collin Morikawa (USA) dropped to 6th place, and the 'Returned Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (USA) is positioned at 22nd. It is interesting that Matthew Wolff (USA) soared from 36th to 18th place, led by his runner-up finish at the US Open. The 'K squad' ranks are Im Sung-jae (22) at 24th, An Byeong-hun (29) at 57th, Kang Sung-hoon (33) at 70th, and Kim Si-woo (25, all from CJ Logistics) at 96th place.
