Kim Hyo-joo averaged 4.41 points in the world rankings of women’s golf released on the 14th (Korea time), ranking 11th, up one place from last week.
Kim Hyo-joo won the LET Aramco Team Series-Korea individual competition, which ended in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province on the 12th, for the first time this year. Due to poor performance this season, the world ranking continued to fall to 12th place, but he won his first championship of the season at the LET competition, setting the stage for a rebound.
At the LPGA Tour’s Cognizant Founders Cup, which ended on Sunday, Rose won her second career championship title in the tour, and was ranked sixth in the world with 16 steps. This is the highest ranking in her career.
Jang, who recorded the third highest world ranking among U.S. athletes after Nelly Koda (U.S.) and Lilia Bu (U.S.), ranked first and second in the world, turned on the green light to participate in the Paris Olympics, which will open in July.
