In the men's golf weekly world rankings announced on the 10th (local time), he earned 2.65 points, moving up two spots from 32nd place last week. He accumulated ranking points by finishing tied for 8th at the Memorial Tournament, a PGA Tour signature event with a total prize money of $20 million, which concluded the day before at Muirfield Village Golf Club (par 72, 7,571 yards) in Dublin, Ohio, USA. This marks his second consecutive top-10 finish in recent tournaments and his fourth top-10 this year.

Scotty Scheffler (USA), the winner of the Memorial Tournament, firmly held onto the No. 1 spot. He leads second-place Xander Schauffele (USA) by a wide margin of 7.68 points. Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), Wyndham Clark (USA), Viktor Hovland (Norway), Ludvig ?berg (Sweden), Collin Morikawa (USA), Jon Rahm (Spain), Patrick Cantlay, and Max Homa (both USA) also made the top 10.

In Korea, Kim Joo-hyung remained steady at 22nd place, the same as last week. An Byeong-hun jumped three spots to 23rd. Kim Si-woo is looking to climb higher from 45th place. Jeon Ga-ram, the champion of last week's KPGA Tour KPGA Championship, soared 204 spots from 635th to 431st.
