The majority of the world’s top 10 golfers didn’t play in any events this weekend, but those who did were on display and performed well in Singapore. Louis Oosthuizen moved up four spots from No. 10 to No. 6 on account of his second-place finish, losing the tournament on an eagle putt by Matteo Manassero on a third playoff hole. The finish was Oosthuizen’s fourth straight in the top 10 of a tournament. Adam Scott prevented Oosthuizen from moving up even higher, going from sixth to fifth by tying for fifth in a tournament he’d won three times before. Falling slightly to replace the pair of players in action were Justin Rose, Jason Dufner, and Webb Simpson, who are now at Nos. 7, 8, and 10.
Here’s a look at the full top 10, with the whole rankings available here:
- Rory McIlroy
- Tiger Woods
- Luke Donald
- Lee Westwood
- Adam Scott
- Louis Oosthuizen
