  • Tseng remains No. 5 as rankings tighten up

    Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Yani Tseng claimed her third major championship title when she won the Women's British Open on Sunday, but held steady at No. 5 in this week's world rankings.

    Tseng, who became the youngest golfer -- male or female -- in the modern era to win three majors, moved within 0.55 average points of No. 1 Jiyai Shin. Last week, Tseng was 2.31 points behind Shin.

    Shin was followed by Cristie Kerr and Ai Miyazato, who flip-flopped spots from last week.

    Suzann Pettersen held steady at No. 4 and was followed again by Tseng, Na Yeon Choi and Paula Creamer.

    Song-Hee Kim inched up one to eighth and bumped Anna Nordqvist down one to ninth.

    In Kyung Kim and Karrie Webb exchanged places with Webb dipping to 11th.

    Michelle Wie and Angela Stanford were 12 and 13 again this week.

    Morgan Pressel moved up one to 14, which knocked Inbee Park down a notch to 15. Sakura Yokomine and Mi-Jeong Jang held steady at 16 and 17.

    Brittany Lincicome shared ninth this past weekend, but jumped four places to 18th in the rankings, while Katherine Hull finished one stroke behind Tseng and climbed nine spots to 19th. Chie Arimura dropped two to 20th.

    Sun Ju Ahn, who fell two to 22nd, and Catriona Matthew, who slipped four to 23rd, both fell out of the top 20 this week.
