[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…‘Celtreon Champ’ Park Min-ji (24) has jumped to 17th in the world rankings.

In the weekly women's golf world rankings officially announced on the morning of the 14th (Korean time), she earned 3.40 points, jumping 8 spots from 25th place last week. She accumulated points by completing a 'wire-to-wire' victory at the KLPGA Tour Celtreon Queens Masters held at The Legend Course, Seolhaewon, Yangyang, Gangwon Province, which ended on the 12th. This is a remarkable achievement as it is her second successful title defense this year, following last month's NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship.

Ko Jin-young (27) remains 1st, Nelly Korda (USA) 2nd, Minjee Lee (Australia) 3rd, Lydia Ko (New Zealand) 4th, and Atthaya Thitikul (Thailand) holds 5th place. Brooke Henderson (Canada) rose 3 spots to 8th. The day before, she earned her 11th career win at the ShopRite Classic on the LPGA Tour, her first victory in 1 year and 2 months since the LA Open last April. In Korea, Kim Hyo-joo (27) is 9th, Park In-bee (34, KB Financial Group) 10th, and Kim Se-young (29) 11th.
