Michelle Wie Stays Ranked 9th on LPGA

Monday 25 April 2011 @ 5:57 pm

The week of April 25th didn’t really see much change in the rankings of the LPGA tour world rankings presented by rolex. Michelle Wie is staying put at 9th which, doing the math, means she’s still in the top ten. Although her previous placement at the Nabisco we were hoping for higher, there was no action this week to really move the ladies.

Michelle Wie, for those that don’t remember, or noticed we didn’t provide an update for, placed sixth at the women’s Nabisco Championship in California in early April. That was the first major of the year. The eventual winner of that tournament was Stacey Lewis who now ranks 14th after a movement upwards by her.

Overall top 10 rankings are as follows.

1 — Yani Tseng TPE
2 — Jiyai Shin KOR
3 — Cristie Kerr USA
4 — Na Yeon Choi KOR
5 — Suzann Pettersen NOR
6 — Ai Miyazato JPN
7 — I.K. Kim KOR
8 — Karrie Webb AUS
9 — Michelle Wie USA
10 — Paula Creamer USA

The next tournament is the Avnet LPGA Classic which Michelle Wie will be playing in. We’ll keep you posted on results this time :) That starts on the 28th of April 2011.
