Watney climbs, Masters boost for Hansen
Nick Watney has risen from 31st to a career-high 15th in the latest world rankings following his WGC-Cadillac Championship victory in Miami.
Watney scored the biggest win of his career after holding off the challenge of fellow American Dustin Johnson, who is up to 11th place after his second place finish.
The top eight all remain the same, with the only change in the top 10 coming with Matt Kuchar moving up to ninth after his fifth place at Doral and Steve Stricker dropping one to 10th.
The latest rankings will certainly make good reading for Dane Anders Hansen.
His third place has elevated him from 55th to 43rd - this coming just two weeks before the top 50 earn invitations to The Masters.
Latest leading positions in the world rankings following the WGC-Cadillac Championship:
1 Martin Kaymer 8.20pts, 2 Lee Westwood 7.84, 3 Luke Donald 6.72, 4 Graeme McDowell 6.36, 5 Tiger Woods 6.14, 6 Phil Mickelson 5.99, 7 Paul Casey 5.92, 8 Rory McIlroy 5.62, 9 Matt Kuchar 5.37, 10 Steve Stricker 5.36
