SI World Golf Rankings: Vincent Norrman Makes Leap After Win at Irish Open
Rory McIlroy was the headliner at last week’s Irish Open, but Sweden’s Vincent Norrman emerged as the big winner.
Norrman shot a bogey-free 65 on Sunday to erase a six-shot final-round deficit and claim the title by one shot. It was Norrman’s second career win and second this year, as he also won the Barbasol Championship in July. McIlroy began the day in contention but faded on Sunday with a disappointing 74.
And so Norrman makes a big leap this week, up 51 spots to No. 128 in this week’s Sports Illustrated World Golf Rankings, our proprietary, data-driven list of the top 100 men’s golfers in the world right now. Here’s how we run our numbers.
The PGA Tour’s Fortinet Championship is set for this week, along with the DP World Tour’s flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship. Expect to see some movement in these rankings next Monday. Here's a closer look at the risers and fallers this week.
