View original image[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] 'Bermuda Champ' Seamus Power (Ireland) has jumped to 32nd in the world rankings.
In the weekly golf world rankings officially announced on the afternoon of the 31st (local time), he rose 16 spots from 48th last week. Power earned points by winning the Butterfield Bermuda Championship (total prize money $6.5 million) held at Port Royal Golf Club (par 71, 6,828 yards) in Southampton, Bermuda, which concluded that morning. This is his second career win, coming 1 year and 3 months after the Barbasol Championship in July last year.
Since the 'top rankers' did not participate in the Bermuda Championship, there were no changes in the top rankings. Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) remains 1st, Scottie Scheffler (USA) 2nd, Cameron Smith (Australia) 3rd, Patrick Cantlay (USA) 4th, Jon Rahm (Spain) 5th, Xander Schauffele 6th, Will Zalatoris 7th, Justin Thomas 8th, Collin Morikawa (all USA) 9th, and Matthew Fitzpatrick (England) holds 10th place.
