Official World Ranking Week 4

Robert Rock won the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship by a shot from Rory McIlroy, with Tiger Woods, Thomas Bjorn and Graeme McDowell a shot further back. Tied with and playing alongside Woods in the final group, Rock held his nerve for his second European Tour victory after the 2011 Italian Open, denying Woods a second consecutive win following the Chevron Challenge. Rock climbs 62 places to world no. 55, while McIlroy takes over the no. 2 spot from Lee Westwood, who tied for 17th. Woods moves up 8 to 17th and McDowell climbs two spots to 11th.
Brandt Snedeker won the Farmers Insurance Open with a par at the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with Kyle Stanley, after Stanley took 8 on the closing par-5 to lose a three-shot lead. It was Snedeker's third PGA Tour win, each of which has seen him come from at least five shots behind the leader going into the final round. Snedeker climbs 18 places to world no. 15, and Stanley rises 63 to 87th.
