Spaniard Jon Rahm climbed to fifth place in the world golf ranking, which is still led by American Scottie Scheffler and where his compatriot Will Zalatoris is ninth after winning the FedEx St. Jude this Sunday.
The player from Barrika, who returned to the final day in fifth place at the Memphis tournament, secured his best position on the American circuit since he won the Mexican Open in January.
This allowed him to place himself at an average of 7.20 and surpass the North American Xander Schauffele (7.06).
Scheffler firmly holds number one (10.04) ahead of Australian Cameron Smith (8.92), Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy (8.09) and American Patrick Cantlay (7.52).
Zalatoris edged out Austrian Sepp Straka in the tiebreaker and was the star of the most outstanding progress, going from fourteenth to ninth place, close behind his compatriots Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa.
Adri Arnaus continues to be the second best Spaniard, despite falling to 66th place, and Pablo Larrazábal is now third, in 69th place, two ahead of Sergio García.
