With first Tour win, Abraham Ancer on verge of world ranking top 10

Abraham Ancer is on the cusp of being a top-10 player in the world.

After claiming his first PGA Tour title at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, Ancer moved from 23rd to 11th in the latest Official World Golf Ranking.

Erik van Rooyen also made a significant jump this past week, winning the PGA Tour’s opposite-field event, the Barracuda Championship. The South African jumped 34 spots to No. 79, thanks to his first Tour title.
