MEN’S TOP 10
Adam Svensson made the biggest gain of the week to move back into the Top 10, climbing 317 spots in the world ranking after picking up his first professional win at the Web.com Tour event in the Bahamas. Last year, Svensson missed the cut at both Web.com Tour Bahamas events and ultimately came up one spot short of earning his PGA Tour card. He becomes the 18th Canadian to win on the Web.com Tour. The victory was worth 14 world ranking points and it moved him from No. 11 to No. 8 in the Canadian rankings. At No. 379 in the world, Svensson is just three spots shy of matching his career-best standing in the world.
Svensson’s move up knocked Corey Conners out of the Top 10 for the first time in over a year. Conners himself made a jump of 50 places in the world rankings after finishing in a tie for 29th at the PGA Farmers Insurance Open. That was worth 2.35 world ranking points – his second points-paying finish in the last three tournaments.
Outside the Top 10, Ryan Yip gained 224 spots in the world rankings after finishing in a tie for 10th at the Web.com Tour event in the Bahamas. It was just his fourth career top 10 result on the development tour and enabled him to move from No. 21 up to No. 15 in the Canadian rankings.
Other notable results: No. 1 Adam Hadwin finished tied for 35th at PGA Farmers Insurance Open; No. 3 Mackenzie Hughes and No. 7 David Hearn both missed the cut at PGA Farmers Insurance Open; No. 4 Nick Taylor finished tied for 75th at PGA Farmers Insurance Open; No. 5 Austin Connelly missed the cut at European Tour Omega Dubai Desert Classic; No. 6 Benjamin Silverman finished tied for 67th at PGA Farmers Insurance Open; No. 9 Richard T Lee finished tied for 48th at the Asian Tour/Japanese Tour Myanmar Open; No. 10 Roger Sloan missed the cut at the Web.com Tour event in the Bahamas.
