Brooke Henderson climbs to No. 2 in Rolex Rankings

Brooke Henderson moved up to No. 2 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings released Monday after winning her first major title at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

Henderson posted the low round of the tournament on Sunday to track down top-ranked Lydia Ko, and rolled in a three-foot birdie putt on the first hole of sudden death to win the event in Sammamish, Wash. It was the second LPGA Tour title for the 18-year-old Canadian.

A year ago, Henderson was No. 70 in the world. She has been ranked as one of the top-10 players on the Rolex Rankings for 14 consecutive weeks.

Ko, the 19-year-old from New Zealand, has spent 53 total weeks atop the Rolex Rankings in her career.

Ko (13.97 point average) remains comfortably the No. 1-ranked player ahead Henderson (8.83) and South Korea's Inbee Park (8.23). Park moved outside of the top-2 players to No. 3 for the first time in more than a year. Park had held the No. 2 ranking for 33 straight weeks.

Lexi Thompson (7.58) is No. 4 as the top American, followed by South Korea's Sei Young Kim (6.31).

Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand, who moved up three more spots to No. 7, was No. 50 in the world just three months ago before winning three consecutive LPGA events. She is inside the top 10 for the first time in her career.

American Stacy Lewis dropped two spots to No. 9.
