Day, Schwartzel up in golf rankings

VIRGINIA WATER, England, July 25 (UPI) -- Jason Day and Charl Schwartzel both inched up one spot in Monday's latest men's world golf rankings.

Day moves from ninth to eighth and Schwartzel goes from 10th to ninth. Those moves are basically the result of Matt Kuchar, who tied for ninth at the 2010 Canadian Open, missing the cut at this year's event and dropping from eighth to 10th in the world rankings.

The Canadian Open was won by Sean O'Hair, who leaps from 114th to 60th in the rankings. Alexander Noren won the European Tour's Nordea Masters by seven strokes and improved his ranking from 92nd to 70th.

Luke Donald remains ranked No. 1, a position he's occupied for nine weeks. He has a rankings points average of 9.599. Lee Westwood is second at 8.334 followed by, in order, Martin Kaymer (7.263), Rory McIlroy (7.059) and Steve Stricker (6.939).

Phil Mickelson (6.267) is sixth and Dustin Johnson (5.750) seventh.

Day's rankings points average is 5.442 while Schwartzel comes in at 5.324 and Kuchar at 5.275.
