DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Katherine Hull climbed six places to No. 20 in the women's world golf rankings following her weekend victory in the Australian Ladies Masters.

The 26-year-old Australian shot a 16-under-par 272, winning by five shots over countrywoman Tamie Durdin and Se Yeon Ryu of South Korea.

The Rolex rankings, released Tuesday, remain unchanged at the top, with Lorena Ochoa No. 1, and Yani Tseng, Paula Creamer, Suzann Pettersen and Jiyai Shin completing the top five.

Ranked sixth through 10th, in order, are Helen Alfredsson, Cristie Kerr, Angela Stanford, Karrie Webb and Seon-Hwa Lee.

Hull bumped Inbee Park out of the top 20. Park fell one spot to No. 21.
