SEOUL, October 21 (AJP) - Golfer Kim Sei-young moved up eight spots to 13th in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings released on Monday.
The sharp rise in rankings came after she won the BMW Ladies Championship, which concluded in Haenam, South Jeolla Province last week. The victory was her 13th career LPGA title and her first win since the Pelican Women's Championship in Florida in November 2020, ending a five-year drought.
Kim has been impressive so far this season, finishing in the top 10 seven times in 18 tournaments including three third-place finishes.
Meanwhile, the top three in the rankings remain unchanged, with Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand, Nelly Korda of the U.S., and Minjee Lee of Australia. The highest-ranked South Korean was Kim Hyo-joo at eighth, followed by Kim Sei-young and Yoo Hae-ran at 14th.
