VIRGINIA WATER, England, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Tim Clark's win at the Australian Open bumped him up from 42nd to 28th Monday in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Richard Sterne, winner of the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa, jumped 39 places to 74th on the list.

Tiger Woods, idled for months by injury, holds steady at No. 1, followed once again by Sergio Garcia, Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington and Vijay Singh in the top five.

Over the years, Woods has been on top of 526 of the weekly rankings. Singh was No. 1 for 32 weeks in 2004 and 2005.

Robert Karlsson is No. 6 on the latest list. Rounding out the top 10 are Camilo Villegas, Henrik Stenson, Ernie Els and Lee Westwood.
