VIRGINIA WATER, England, May 19 (UPI) -- AT&T Classic winner Ryuji Imada of Japan moved up 20 spots to No. 49 in the official World Golf Ranking Monday.

Imada's playoff victory over Kenny Perry in the tournament at Duluth, Ga., was his first on the PGA Tour.

Englishman Richard Finch, winner of the weekend Irish Open, jumped 84 places to No. 134 on the world list.

No. 1 Tiger Woods retained a double-digit points lead over second-ranked Phil Mickelson despite not playing since the Masters in April.

Woods, who has played in five tour events this year, winning three of them, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-April and may not return to the tour until the U.S. Open next month.

Ernie Els, Adam Scott and Jim Furyk are 3-4-5 on the world list.

Completing the top 10, in order, are Steve Stricker, Geoff Ogilvy, K.J. Choi, Vijay Singh and Sergio Garcia.
