Collin Morikawa vaulted past
Tiger Woods in the Official World Golf Ranking, which were released
Monday.
Morikawa outlasted Justin Thomas in a scintillating playoff on
Sunday afternoon to win the Workday Charity Open in Dublin, Ohio.
The second victory of his young career elevated the 23-year-old
Morikawa 16 spots to 13th overall, one spot ahead of Woods.
Woods will return to action this week at The Memorial after a
five-month absence from competitive golf. The reigning Masters
champion played in The Match charity event with partner Peyton
Manning in Florida in May at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Fla.,
where the twosome downed Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady.
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and Spain's Jon Rahm remained at
Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, while Thomas moved up two spots to No. 3
following his second-place finish on Sunday.
Dustin Johnson and Webb Simpson dropped one spot to Nos. 4 and 5,
respectively.
