Ogilvy moves to fourth in golf rankings

Accenture Match Play champion Geoff Ogilvy has moved up to fourth in the latest men’s world golf rankings, released Monday.

Ogilvy defeated Paul Casey 4 and 3 in the 36-hole championship match Sunday and won the match play championship for the second time in four years. As a result he jumped from eighth to fourth in the world rankings. Casey made an even bigger move, going from 23rd to 13th.

Tiger Woods, who lost in the second round at the match play tournament, is No. 1 for a 537th week. Sergio Garcia and Phil Mickelson remain second and third, respectively.

Ogilvy’s move pushed down the rankings of several golfers with Padraig Harrington now fifth followed by, in order, Vijay Singh, Henrik Stenson and Robert Karlsson, who all slipped one spot.

Camilo Villegas is ninth after switching places with Kenny Perry, who is now 10th.
