Lewis up to sixth women's golf rankings

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., April 30 (UPI) -- Stacy Lewis jumped three spots in the women's golf Top 10 and Yani Tseng tied one of the legends of the game with her string of weeks at No. 1.

Suzann Pettersen is third at 7.67 but Ai Miyazato (7.35) moves to No. 4, switching places with Cristie Kerr (7.27).

Kim In-kyung (6.47) keeps the No. 7 spot behind Lewis (6.69) but Jiyai Shin (6.45) falls two places to eighth and Ahn Sun-ju is down one place to ninth with an average of 6.34. Paula Creamer is 10th at 5.77.
