[Golf Topic] 'Heulk' DeChambeau "I'm Number 5~"... Ram 'Number 1'

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…‘Hulk’ Bryson DeChambeau (USA, photo) has risen to 5th place in the world rankings.

On the afternoon of the 27th (Korean time), he received 6.43 points in the weekly official golf world rankings, moving up two spots from 7th place last week. Although there were no matches, his rating was relatively high. The World Ranking Committee assigns points differentially every Monday after all professional golf tours worldwide conclude, determining the order. The average is calculated by dividing the points earned over two years by the number of tournaments participated in (40 to 52). Recent tournaments and major events carry higher point allocations.

Jon Rahm (Spain), Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, and Patrick Cantlay make up the ‘Top 4’. Rahm has 9.53 points, Morikawa 8.76 points, continuing the ‘0.77-point battle for number 1’. ‘Tokyo Olympics Gold’ medalists Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas (both USA) each dropped one spot, ranking 6th and 7th respectively. The Korean contingent includes ‘Shriners Children’s Open champion’ Im Sung-jae (23) at 26th, Kim Si-woo (26) at 52nd, and Lee Kyoung-hoon (30) at 63rd, with three players placed in the ‘Top 100’.
