Kim Joo-hyung overtakes Korean player "Number One"

Ahn Byung-hoon ranked 23rd in the men's golf world ranking announced on the 13th (Korea time), up 9 places from last week.

Ahn Byung-hoon raised his world ranking to the fullest by doing well alone in the Wells Fargo Championship, the PGA Tour's special signature tournament that ended in North Carolina.

Recently, Ahn Byung-hoon has been on the rise, and Kim Joo-hyung has faltered, and their joys and sorrows have been mixed. Ahn has rapidly elevated his world ranking by posting the best performance among Korean players, including top 10 times in 13 competitions this season.

On the other hand, Kim is faltering. He has competed in 13 competitions, but has never made the top 10. Kim, who had maintained the highest global ranking among Korean players, dropped three notches to 26th in the world ranking announced on the day.

Lim Sung-jae (26), who tied for fourth at the Wells Fargo Championship, also jumped six notches to 32nd, intensifying competition for the Korean national team at the Paris Olympics, which will give two tickets. The 17th of next month, the deadline for the confirmation of participation in the Paris Olympics, is just a month away.

Kim Si-woo (29) ranked 41st with his world ranking rising three notches.

Scottie Scheffler of the U.S. is still ranked first in the world for 52 consecutive weeks by an overwhelming point margin.

Rory McIlroy of the U.S., who had his second win of the season at the Wells Fargo Championship, remained in second place, Xander Schauffley of the U.S., who came in second after McIlroy came from behind to win, and Wyndham Clark of the U.S., dropped one notch to fourth place. John Lam of Spain is in fifth place.
