[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…Jon Rahm (Spain) has maintained his world No. 1 ranking.

In the weekly official golf world rankings announced on the afternoon of the 10th (Korean time), he scored 9.80 points, demonstrating his 'Number 1 power.' Earlier that morning, at the Plantation Golf Course (par 73, 7,596 yards) of Kapalua Resort on Maui Island, Hawaii, USA, he finished as runner-up (33-under 259) in the first PGA Tour event of 2022, the Sentry Tournament of Champions (total prize money $8.2 million), adding to his points. Collin Morikawa remains in 2nd place (8.75 points).

Morikawa tied for 5th place (25-under 267), which seems to have widened the gap. Dustin Johnson is 3rd, Patrick Cantlay 4th, and Justin Thomas (all from the USA) is 5th. Cameron Smith (Australia) surged from 21st to 10th, entering the 'Top 10' with his wire-to-wire victory at the Sentry Tournament. South Korea has three players in the 'Top 100': Im Sung-jae (24) at 24th, Kim Si-woo (27) at 53rd, and Lee Kyoung-hoon (31) at 64th.
