The Spanish Jon Rahm, who recovered the world number one after winning the United States Open, his first “great”, maintains this Monday the first place in the ranking ahead of a group of eight American players led by previous number one, Dustin Johnson.
Rahm leads the list with an average points of 9.8279, followed by Johnson (9.6104) and Justin Thomas (7.94.17). Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, 10th, is the only other non-US player ranked in the top ten.
American Harris English, winner of the Travelers tournament on the PGA circuit in a long tiebreaker with his compatriot Kramer Hickok, rose from 19th to 12th place, and the Norwegian Viktor Hovland, the first Norwegian to win a tournament on the European circuit, that of Munich, nevertheless remains in 14th place in the ranking.
The Norwegian achieved his third professional victory, after winning two tournaments on the PGA Tour.
Mexican Abraham Arcer rises three places and gets into the top-20: twentieth and first Latin American on the world list, followed by the Chilean Joaquín Niemann, thirty, while the Spanish Sergio García ranks 49th, losing one.
