(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = Ko Jin-young (27) maintained the first place in the women’s golf world rankings.
Jinyoung Ko maintained the first place in the world rankings on the 19th with 8.23 points.
Jinyoung Ko, who has been ranked No. 1 in the world since early February of this year, is not participating in the tournament due to a wrist injury following losing cuts at the AIG Women’s Open and CP Women’s Open on the LPGA Tour in August.
While Jin Young Ko’s absence was predicted until early October, if Nelly Corda (USA), the world No. 2 player, had won the Portland Classic held in Portland, Oregon, USA until the 19th, she might have reclaimed the first place, but finished tied for 31st and was the world ranking leader. There was no change.
Koda closely followed Jinyoung Ko by 0.29 points last week with 8.11 points, but this week she scored 7.79 points, slightly widening the gap with Jinyoung Ko by 0.44 points.
3rd place was Lee Min-ji (Australia) and 4th place was Lydia Ko (New Zealand), the same as last week, and Ataya Titikun (Thailand) pushed Brook Henderson (Canada) to 6th and jumped to 5th.
Jeon In-ji (28) and Kim Hyo-joo (27) were ranked 8th and 9th, respectively.

Park Min-ji (24), who achieved 4 victories in the season at the KB Financial Star Championship on the KLPGA Tour, which ended on the 18th, moved up 5 places and placed 14th in her personal best tie.
Park In-bi (34) is 16th, and Choi Hye-jin (23) is 19th.

In the men’s golf world rankings, Scotty Schaeffler (USA), Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), Cameron Smith (Australia), Patrick Cantlay and Xander Shopley (USA) were maintained in the order of 1-5.
Smith, who placed 3rd, won the 5th tournament of the LIV Golf Invitational Series, which ended on the 19th, for the first time since the transfer, but the results of the LIV Series tournament are not reflected in the world rankings.
Max Homar (USA), who won the Fortinet Championship, the opening game of the 2022-2023 season on the PGA Tour, climbed six places from last week to 16th.
Among Korean players, Im Seong-jae (24) was the highest at 19th, followed by Kim Joo-hyeong (20) at 22nd and Lee Kyung-hoon (31) at 43rd.
Byeong-Hoon Ahn (31), who finished the Fortinet Championship in a tie for fourth place, jumped from 309th to 233th.
