On the 2nd (local time), she received 4.57 points in the official weekly women's golf world rankings, jumping 7 spots from 18th place last week. Yu Hae-ran accumulated points by winning the sudden-death playoff at the newly established FM Championship (total prize money $3.8 million) on the LPGA Tour, which concluded the day before at TPC Boston (par 72, 6,598 yards) in Norton, Massachusetts, USA. This is her second career win in just over a year since her first victory at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship last October, with a winner's prize of $570,000 (approximately 760 million KRW).

Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu (both from the USA), and Paris Olympic gold medalist Lydia Ko (New Zealand) maintained their positions at 1st to 3rd place respectively after taking a break last week. Ko Jin-young, who narrowly lost to Yu Hae-ran in the sudden-death playoff at the FM Championship, rose two spots to 4th place. South Korea's Yang Hee-young is in 6th place, Kim Hyo-joo in 17th, and Shin Ji-ae in 24th. Among KLPGA Tour players, Lee Ye-won is 31st, Park Ji-young 37th, and Park Hyun-kyung 39th. Bae So-hyun, winner of the KG Ladies Open, climbed 16 spots from last week to 72nd place.
