Waston Climbs Incredible 1,270 Rankings

 

 

Tom Watson has moved up an amazing 1,270 places in the world rankings following his Open heroics..

 

 

And Stewart Cink, the man that beat him in the four-hole play-off at Turnberry on Sunday, has moved from 33rd into the World's Top 10 at 9th.

 

Watson's agonising miss from 8 feet at the 72nd hole and his implosion in the play-off defeat still improved his world ranking an incredible 1,270 places - from 1,374th to 104th.

If he had holed that eight-footer on the final green and become, at 59, the oldest major winner in history by 11 years, Watson would be ranked 45th in the world.

 

Watson did not have any ranking points prior to Turnberry under the two-year system and was listed as joint 1,374th with 4,000 other players who had played counting events, but had finished out of the points.
