Kerr takes over No. 3 spot in golf ranking
Posted on: Tuesday, 12 May 2009, 06:58 CDT
Cristie Kerr's 12th career LPGA title, won in Virginia last weekend, boosted her to the No. 3 spot in the latest women's world golf rankings.
Kerr won the 2009 Michelob Ultra Open at Williamsburg, Va., by two strokes over Kim In-kyung and improved her ranking from No. 6 to third overall.
Kim's performance allowed her to jump 10 spots and reach the No. 10 ranking. She and Kerr were the only golfers among the top 15 to improve their rankings from last week.
While Lorena Ochoa is still No. 1 and Yani Tseng second, Kerr's move juggled the Top 10 with three players each pushed down one slot from last week's list. Shin Jiyai is now ranked fourth while Paula Creamer is fifth and Suzann Pettersen sixth.
Angela Stanford, Helen Alfredsson and Karrie Webb remained in spots Nos. 7-9, respectively, and Kim's entry into the Top 10 knocked Katherine Hull out of the top tier.
