'US Open Champ' Jon Rahm (Spain, photo) has reclaimed the world No. 1 ranking. In the weekly official golf world rankings announced on the afternoon of the 19th (Korean time), he received 10.08 points. He accumulated points by finishing tied for 3rd place at the 149th Open Championship, the "oldest major," held at Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich, England (par 70) early that morning. Since winning the US Open on the 21st of last month as the first Spanish player to do so, he has been in a seesaw battle with Dustin Johnson every week.

Johnson is in 2nd place (9.69 points). 'Open Champ' Collin Morikawa is 3rd, while Justin Thomas has dropped to 4th. Xander Schauffele (both from the United States) remains in 5th place. Louis Oosthuizen (South Africa), who led for three consecutive days at the Open but faltered with a 1-over par on the final day to finish tied for 3rd, jumped to 9th place, entering the 'Top 10' for the first time in 8 years since 2013. For Korea, Im Sung-jae (23) is 27th, Kim Si-woo (26) is 55th, and Lee Kyung-hoon (30, both from CJ Logistics) is 71st.
