Jeon In-ji (28), the ‘major queen’ who won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, a major event on the LPGA Tour, rose to 12th in the world rankings.
In the Rolex Women’s Golf World Ranking announced on the 28th, Jeon In-ji jumped 21 places from 33rd last week. She played a decisive role the day before she won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Inji has won three of her four LPGA career wins in majors. If she adds one more win at the AIG Women’s Open on August 4 and the Chevron Championship in April next year, she will achieve a career grand slam.
Park Min-ji (24), winner of the Korea Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour BC Card and Hankyung Ladies Cup, climbed two places to 16th. With this win, Park Min-ji has won three this season.
Jinyoung Ko (27) firmly maintained the 1st place, and Minji Lee (Australia) moved up to 2nd place by swapping seats with Nelly Corda (USA).
