Immelman cracks Top 20

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Trevor Immelman Tuesday parlayed his Nedbank Golf Challenge victory in South Africa into a Top 20 appearance in this week's Official World Golf Rankings.

The South African moved up two notches to 19th after coasting to the win Sunday with three straight bogeys. Despite the horrid finish, it was enough for Immelman to defeat Justin Rose by a stroke.
