‘Red Cardigan Man’ Scottie Scheffler (USA) has entered the world ranking ‘Top 5’. In the weekly golf world ranking officially announced on the afternoon of the 7th (Korean time), he received 7.10 points, rising one spot from 6th place last week. He accumulated points by winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational (total prize money $12 million) at Bay Hill Golf Club in Orlando, Florida (par 72, 7,466 yards), which ended that morning with a 5-under 283. This is his second win of the season in just three weeks, following the Phoenix Open on the 24th of last month.

Jon Rahm (Spain) remains in 1st place, with Collin Morikawa (USA) in 2nd. Viktor Hovland (Norway) is 3rd, while Patrick Cantlay dropped to 4th. It is interesting that Ryan Brehm (USA) soared 491 places from 773rd to 282nd by achieving a 6-stroke victory at the ‘B-level match’ Puerto Rico Open (total prize money $3.7 million) during the same period. Korea’s players are Im Sung-jae (24) at 24th, Kim Si-woo (27) at 54th, Lee Kyoung-hoon (31) at 77th, and ‘Asian Tour money leader’ Kim Joo-hyung (20) at 85th place.
