[Golf Topic] Rahm "Back to World No. 2"... Johnson 'Number 1'

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○..."0.02 point difference."

World No. 1 Jon Rahm (Spain, photo) dropped to 2nd place after 3 weeks. He received 9.72 points in the weekly official golf world ranking announced on the afternoon of the 12th (Korean time). On the 21st of last month, he made news by becoming the first Spanish player to win the US Open (total prize money $12.5 million), instantly rising to 'Number 1.' His 7th place finish at the European Tour Scottish Open (total prize money $8 million), which ended that morning at Renaissance Golf Club in North Berwick, Scotland (par 71), was regrettable.

Dustin Johnson is No. 1 (9.74 points) and will compete again for the top spot at the final major of the 2021 season, The Open, which opens on the night of the 15th at Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich, England. Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, and Xander Schauffele maintained their 'Top 5' positions. Lucas Glover (both from the United States) surged 36 places from 115th to 79th, propelled by his victory at the PGA Tour John Deere Classic (total prize money $6.2 million). In Korea, Im Sung-jae (23) is 27th, Kim Si-woo (26) is 52nd, and Lee Kyung-hoon (30, both from CJ Logistics) is 72nd.
