Clark experienced a big rise and after winning the Open he settled for thirteenth, just behind his compatriot Brooks Koepka, the winner of the previous ‘grand slam’ tournament, the PGA Championship.
Pablo Larrazábal dropped two positions to 54, Adrián Otaegui dropped to 86 and Adri Arnaus remains at 96. Sergio García, twenty-seventh this Sunday, improves 50 places, from 247 to 197.
