[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…"World Ranking 57th → 43rd."

‘Bermuda Champ’ Lucas Herbert (Australia) jumped 14 spots to 2.63 points in the weekly official golf world rankings announced on the afternoon of the 1st (Korean time). Early that morning, at the Bermuda Southampton Port Royal Golf Club (par 71, 6,828 yards), the final day of the 6th event of the 2021/2022 PGA Tour season, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship (total prize money $6.5 million), he added 2 under par to secure a one-stroke victory (15 under par 269), earning points.

He was a player active on the European Tour until last year. He has two career wins, including the 2020 Omega Dubai Desert Classic and the Ireland Open last July. This year, he joined the PGA Tour as a top-ranked player from the PGA Korn Ferry (2nd tier) Tour. Interestingly, he missed the cut at both the Fortinet Championship in September and the Sanderson Farms Championship last month. However, on this day, his ‘stingy putting’ of 1.60 putts per hole stood out despite strong winds.

Jon Rahm (Spain), Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Cantlay, and Xander Schauffele remain the ‘Top 5’ unchanged. Jordan Spieth rose from 13th to 10th, entering the ‘Top 10,’ while Tony Finau (both USA) dropped to 11th. In Korea, Im Sung-jae, who secured the first win of the new season early at last month’s Shriners Children’s Open, is ranked 23rd, followed by Kim Si-woo (26) at 47th, and Lee Kyung-hoon (30, both CJ Logistics) at 59th.
