[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…'KLPGA Rookie of the Year' Jo Ah-yeon (20ㆍphoto) rose to 33rd in the world rankings.

In the weekly women's golf world rankings announced on the morning of the 25th (Korean time), she received 2.44 points, climbing two spots from 35th last week. She finished as runner-up at the LET (Ladies European Tour) Jeep King Motors Australian Ladies Classic held at Bonville Golf Resort in New South Wales, Australia, which ended on the 23rd. Following a tie for 16th at the LPGA Tour ISPS Handa Vic Open and a tie for 6th at the ISPS Handa Australian Women's Open, this marks her third consecutive tournament with an upward trend.

Due to the cancellation of the Honda LPGA Thailand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there was little change in the rankings. Ko Jin-young (25) remained first for the 31st consecutive week (8.55 points), Nelly Korda (USA) was second (5.89 points), Park Sung-hyun (27) third (5.85 points), Danielle Kang (USA) fourth (5.48 points), and Hataoka Nasa (Japan) fifth (5.46 points). South Korea's Kim Sei-young (27ㆍMirae Asset) ranked 6th (5.13 points), Lee Jeong-eun 6 (24ㆍDaebang Construction) 10th (4.64 points), and Park In-bee (32ㆍKB Financial Group) 12th (4.32 points).
