Harrington moves into
World Top 10
Padraig Harrington's victory on Sunday at the Volvo Masters moved the Irishman
up six places to No. 10 in this week's World Golf Rankings.
The win was Harrington's first and only in 2001 despite seven-runner up finishes
on the European Tour.
Tiger Woods remained comfortably in first as he returns to competitive golf
this week. He will team with David Duval, ranked third this week, as the duo tries
to successfully defend their title at the World Golf Championships - EMC²
World Cup in Japan. Phil Mickelson held on to his second-ranked spot.
Ernie Els came in fourth this week, followed by Davis Love III, Sergio Garcia,
PGA champion David Toms and Vijay Singh, each of whom held their positions from
last week.
Darren Clarke finished third on the Order of Merit in 2001 and moved up one
notch to No. 9. Harrington rounded out the top-10 as his victory at the Volvo
Masters moved him ahead of Clarke on the European Tour's money list.
Mike Weir, winner of the Tour Championship last week, dipped two places to
11. Retief Goosen, the 2001 U.S. Open champion and European Order of Merit winner,
fell one spot to 12, as did seven-time Order of Merit champion Colin Montgomerie,
who dropped to 13th this week.
Bernhard Langer and Jim Furyk, Ryder Cup players on opposite sides, stayed
14th and 15th, respectively.
Scott Verplank, a wildcard Ryder Cup selection for the United States, dropped
three spots to No. 16. He was followed by a trio of two-time PGA Tour winners
from 2001 -- Jose Coceres, Bob Estes and Scott Hoch.
Chris DiMarco fell one spot to round out the top-20.
