Philadelphia, PA (My Sportsbook) - Ai Miyazato's second consecutive win on the LPGA Tour moved her up to third in this week's Women's World Golf Rankings. Miyazato got to fourth with her win at the Honda PTT LPGA Thailand two weeks ago, and her victory at last week's HSBC Women's Champions helped her climb one more spot. Lorena Ochoa remained in first, followed by Jiyai Shin and Miyazato. Suzann Pettersen dipped one to No. 4 to accommodate Miyazato's ascension. Cristie Kerr, who finished second to Miyazato at the HSBC Champions, and Yani Tseng switched places this week, with the American going to fifth and Tseng dropping to sixth. Anna Nordqvist, Paula Creamer, Michelle Wie and Angela Stanford rounded out the top 10. In Kyung Kim, Na Yeon Choi, Karrie Webb, Song Hee Kim and Sakura Yokomine held on to Nos. 11-15. Catriona Matthew, Sophie Gustafson and Shinobu Moromizato also stayed in their spots from last week. Maria Hjorth rose two to No. 19, and Kristy McPherson fell to No. 20. Chie Arimura dropped out of the top 20. |
