    Watson & Cink shoot up world rankings

    Following their playoff for the Claret Jug at Turnberry this weekend, former number 33 Cink and 1374 Watson moved to 9 and 104 respectively.

    Cink will hope to move on from his first major and claim more - following the example perennial also-ran Padraig Harrington set in 2007. However it's more likely he'll join the ranks of Ben Curtis and Lucas Glover in the "nice guys who won a major" category. Sorry, Stew.

    The world rankings in golf are somewhat farcical - it's basically a case of who can get to number 2 behind Tiger, or number 3 behind Phil these days.

    New world rankings:

    1 Tiger Woods 10.82pts

    2 Phil Mickelson 8.53

    3 Paul Casey 6.60

    4 Kenny Perry 6.21

    5 Sergio Garcia 6.02

    6 Steve Stricker 5.88

    7 Henrik Stenson 5.88

    8 Geoff Ogilvy 5.74

    9 Stewart Cink 5.04

    10 Jim Furyk 5.01

    11 Vijay Singh 4.84

    12 Martin Kaymer 4.80

    13 Camilo Villegas 4.69

    14 Lee Westwood 4.65

    15 Sean O'Hair 4.39

    16 Padraig Harrington 4.33

    17 Anthony Kim 4.22

    18 Robert Karlsson 4.21

    19 Ian Poulter 3.97

    20 Lucas Glover 3.94
