Nelly Corda (USA), who won her second win of the season, returned to the top of the women’s golf world rankings after 7 months.
Koda recorded 8.09 ranking points in the Rolex Women’s Golf World Rankings announced on the 26th (Korean time), beating Lilia Bu (USA, 6.63 points) and rising from 2nd to 1st.
Koda tied with Ryan O’Toole (USA) with a final total of 9 under par 275 at the LPGA Tour’s Furhills Pak Championship, which ended on the 25th, and then won in overtime to reach the top.
Koda, who won his second win of the season and 10th of his career following the Drive-On Championship in January of this year, returned to No. 1 in the world rankings seven months after last August.
At the time, Koda surpassed Ko Jin-young (29, Solaire) and rose to first place, then maintained the world rankings for two weeks before losing first place to Boo. Afterwards, Bu and Yin Luoning (China) took first place alternately, and Koda fell to fourth place at one point.
Koda, who showed off his good sense in 2024, rose to first place again, and the gap with second place Bu is 1.46 points, so it is expected that he will not lose the top spot for the time being.
Boo fell to second place, and Celine Boutier (France), In Luoning, and Lee Min-ji (Australia) maintained third to fifth places.
Ko Jin-young maintained 6th place, the highest among Korean players, and Charlie Hull (England), Lydia Go (New Zealand), Kim Hyo-joo (29, Lotte), and Lin Siyu (China) were in the ‘top 10’.
‘Veteran’ Shin Ji-ae (36, Three Bonds), who is competing at the Paris Olympics, rose two places to 16th place in the world rankings.
Shin Ji-ae performed well at the Pak Se-ri Championship, tying for 5th place with a final total of 7 under par 277 strokes.
Shin Ji-ae, who is aiming to participate in the Paris Olympics in July, must enter the top 15 in the world rankings by June to achieve her goal. The ranking point gap with 15th place Allison Coopers (USA) is only 0.09 points, which is enough to aim for a comeback.
Yang Hee-young (35), the third-highest ranked Korean player, maintained 14th place.
