Golf:Rory McIlroy drops one place to fifth in the world rankings swapping places with American Steve Stricker after the latter's superior performance at the Atlanta Athletic Club over the weekend. Graeme McDowell remains 13th on the list with Darren Clarke down a couple of slots to 33rd and Padraig Harrington slipping five places to 74th.
New USPGA champion Keegan Bradley is up from 108th to 29th, joining the list of those now ahead of Tiger Woods. Former number one Woods is now down to 33rd, with his missed cut in Atlanta saw him overtaken not only by Bradley, but also Dane Anders Hansen, now a career-best 23rd after his third-place finish and 18-year-old Italian Matteo Manassero.
