15 Asian Tour members in World Top 200

A total of 15 Asian Tour members are ranked inside the top-200 of the latest Official World Golf Ranking following the conclusion of the Bangkok Airways Open at the weekend.

India's Jeev Milkha Singh, who is playing in this week's US Open, heads the list in 57th place while Korea's Yang Yong-eun is ranked 65th. Both players were inside the top-50 at the end of last season after enjoying multiple victories.

Korea's Choi Kyung-ju is the highest ranked Asian in 17th place, thanks largely to his fifth US PGA Tour victory recently at the Memorial Tournament. Choi is a product of the Asian Tour and now plays primarily in the US.

England's Simon Dyson , who is currently fifth on the Asian Tour's UBS Order of Merit, is ranked 79th in the world while China's Liang Wen-chong, currently top of the UBS Order of Merit, is 82nd.

India's Jyoti Randhawa and Thai star Thongchai Jaidee occupy 84th and 85th positions respectively.

Other Asian Tour members ranked in the top-200 include Anton Haig of South Africa (112th), Andrew Buckle of Australia (113th), Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng (133rd), India's Gaurav Ghei (151st), Frankie Minoza of the Philippines (167th), Prom Meesawat of Thailand (174th), Chapchai Nirat of Thailand (182nd), Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant (194th) and Scotsman Simon Yates (198th).

Last week's winner Lee Sung of Korea rose 191 place to 248th in the world.
