There’s a new country in the UL International Crown top-10.
Currently just outside the bubble with the top eight countries selected to compete, China has quietly climbed in the standings from 12th to 10th over the last month. They’ve now bumped France out of the No.10 position in the standings. China’s Shanshan Feng is the country’s highest ranked player at sixth in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.
While there have been no major movements between countries in the top-8, there have been quite a few players who have moved either on or off the team. The top four from each country will qualify to represent their country.
For the No.1 ranked Republic of Korea, Hyo-Joo Kim has continued to drop in the standings, falling out of the top-4 and now into sixth as great play from Sei Young Kim and Amy Yang has moved them ahead in the standings.
With Cristie Kerr’s victory at the season ending CME Group Tour Championship, she climbed three spots in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, propelling her ahead of Brittany Lincicome in the standings. Morgan Pressel has held the sixth position for much of the last two months, and has now climbed to fifth in the standings with Alison Lee bumping Michelle Wie out of the top-6.
There continues to be movement on the bubble for both Japan and Chinese Taipei, where Ssu-Chia Cheng and Wei-Ling Hsu have traded position over the past month.
Spain continues to sit in the No.9 position in the standings, the defending champions still looking for a way to defend their title in 2016.
