In the Golf rankings released yesterday, there were no changes at the top with Jordan Spieth still less than a point away from world No 1 Rory McIlory, although the pair could switch places should Spieth win next week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
Jason Day replaces Dustin Johnson as the world No 4 after bouncing back from his near-miss at the 144th Open by claiming Canadian Open victory, with Jim Furyk rising one place to sixth having finished fourth in Ontario.
Former world No 1 Tiger Woods wasn’t in action this week but continued his slide down the rankings now sandwiched between Robert Rock and Challenge Tour player Max Orrin as the world No 266.
