Love back among golf's Top 20

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Davis Love III won his first tournament in three years and propelled himself back into the Top 20 of the world golf rankings.

Love took the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro by two strokes Sunday. He had not won on the PGA Tour since The International in 2003, when he was ranked No. 3 in the world.

The victory Sunday put him at No. 19 in the latest golf rankings. Love's move up dropped Tim Clark out of the Top 20.

An even more dramatic move was made by Padraig Harrington, who parlayed his victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland to a jump of eight places to 12th.

Tiger Woods remained comfortably in the No. 1 spot, followed by Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott and Vijay Singh. There was no change in the next five as well with Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia and Geoff Ogilvy rounding out the Top 10.
