MEN’S TOP 10

Adam Hadwin maintained his No. 61 world ranking after a tie for 10th at the Mayakoba Golf Classic. That result was worth 4.80 world ranking points, the third consecutive tournament he’s had a points-paying finish since missing the cut in the 2018-19 season opener.

Austin Connelly moves past Graham DeLaet to take over the No. 6 ranking in Canada. The former Golf Canada National Team member recently completed his first full season on the European Tour, finishing 134th on the Race to Dubai list. He entered the final Q-School stage but failed to make the four round cut to determine the 25 tour cards to be handed out for 2019.

Other notable results: No. 3 Corey Conners, No. 4 Nick Taylor, No. 5 Mackenzie Hughes, No. 8 Adam Svensson and No. 9 Roger Sloan all missed the cut at PGA Mayakoba Golf Classic;
