[Golf Topic] Park Sung-hyun "World Ranking 4th → 6th"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Park Sung-hyun (27, photo) has dropped to 'number 6'.

In the weekly women's golf world rankings announced on the morning of the 22nd (Korean time), she received 5.26 points, falling two places from 4th last week. It is the first time in 2 years and 3 months since she was pushed out of the top 5, last occurring after the Arkansas Championship in June 2018. Although she made a belated return after 10 months at the ANA Inspiration, a major on the US Women's Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour on the 10th, she finished tied for 40th in her comeback event and missed the cut at last week's Cambia Portland Classic, resulting in a drop in ranking.

There were no changes in the top ranks with Ko Jin-young (25) at 1st (7.97 points), Nelly Korda 2nd (6.68 points), and Danielle Kang (both from the USA) 3rd (6.28 points). Brooke Henderson (Canada), the runner-up at the ANA Inspiration, rose two places to 4th (5.42 points). Korea's Kim Se-young (27, Mirae Asset) ranked 7th (5.24 points), Park In-bee (32, KB Financial Group) 9th (4.99 points), and Kim Hyo-joo (25, Lotte) was 11th (4.48 points). Georgia Hall (England), the 'Cambia Classic champ,' jumped 24 places to 31st (2.63 points).
