1:49 pm on 4 October 2011

The New Zealand golfer Danny Lee has improved 76 places in the world rankings to 190th after his win yesterday on the US Nationwide Tour.

The 21-year-old's playoff win in Texas was his first victory for two years, and it's secured his place on next year's PGA tour.

Tiger Woods has slipped out of the world's top 50 at number 51, and he'll be endeavouring to arrest his slide at this week's PGA tour event in California, his first event for nearly two months.
