Asian Tour runner-up Smith moves up one spot to 19th in world rankings
Last year’s British Open winner Cameron Smith (AUS) has moved up one spot in the Men’s Golf World Rankings.
Smith is ranked 19th in the men’s world golf rankings released Wednesday, up one spot from 20th last week.
Smith, who plays for Saudi Arabia’s capital-backed LIV Golf, continued to slip in the world rankings as no world ranking points are awarded for LIV events.
After starting the year ranked №3, he slipped to №20 earlier this month.
However, he finished runner-up at the Asian Tour’s Hong Kong Open, which concluded on Wednesday in Hong Kong, and moved up one spot to №19 in the world rankings.
Unlike the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, the Asian Tour is open to LIV players.
There were no major changes at the top of the leaderboard, with Scottie Shaffler (USA), Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) and Yon Ram (Spain) holding onto the top three spots.
Max Homa (USA), winner of the DP WorldTour Nedbank Challenge that concluded on Wednesday, moved from eighth to seventh place, swapping places with Mashu Fitzpatrick (GBR).
Kim Joo-hyung (KOR) is the highest-ranked Korean player, holding onto 11th place. Lim Sung-jae is 27th.
Shin Sang-hoon, who won the LG Signature Players Championship, the final event of the 2023 season on the Korean Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Korean Tour, which concluded on Wednesday in Paju, Gyeonggi-do, jumped from №522 to №430. 슬롯사이트
