Camilo Villegas has climbed up to 12th in the world rankings on the back of his convincing triumph at the Honda Classic over the weekend.

The Colombian secured his third career PGA Tour title in some style on Sunday as he romped to victory by five shots at PGA National.

Villegas is now just two places and 0.04 points outside a place in the top ten after an impressive start to the season.

Success at the Honda Classic comes after the 28-year-old finished third at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship and in a tie for eighth a week later at the Waste Management Open in Phoenix.

However, while Villegas' star continues to rise, that of Padraig Harrington is heading in the opposite direction with the Dubliner now ranked behind the Colombian.

Harrington, who missed the cut at the Northern Trust Open and departed in the second round of the Accenture Match Play, finished well down the field in joint 40th at the Honda Classic.

As a result he drops out of the top ten in the revised rankings list, falling from 10 to 13.
