'Match King' Billy Horschel (USA) is showing outstanding performance while moving between the PGA Tour and the European Tour. On the afternoon of the 13th (Korean time), he received 5.01 points in the weekly official golf world ranking announcement, jumping up 10 places at once. He accumulated points by winning the European Tour BMW PGA Championship (total prize money $8 million) by one stroke (19 under par 269) on the final day, which ended at Wentworth Golf Club (Par 72, 7,284 yards) in Virginia Water, Surrey, England, early that morning.

Horschel entered his 'second prime' with his victory at the World Golf Championships (WGC) Series Dell Technologies Match Play in March. It was his first win in 2 years and 11 months since the Zurich Classic in April 2018. As soon as the PGA Tour Playoffs (PO) ended, he crossed over to Europe and secured another top-level match victory. Jon Rahm (Spain), Dustin Johnson, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, and Xander Schauffele (all USA) remain in the 'Top 5.' Korea's players are Sungjae Im (23) at 29th, Siwoo Kim (26) at 50th, and Kyung-hoon Lee (30, both CJ Logistics) at 58th place.
