Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) – Robert Streb won for the first time on the PGA Tour on Sunday and that helped him make a big move up this week’s world rankings.

Streb soared 89 places to No. 88 after winning The McGladrey Classic. Thorbjorn Olesen won the European Tour event in Perth and he jumped 41 spots to No. 89 this week.

With many of the top players off last week, there was little change in the top 20 of the rankings. Rory McIlroy remained the No. 1 player and he was again followed by Adam Scott, Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose, Bubba Watson, Jason Day, Matt Kuchar and Rickie Fowler.

Phil Mickelson held steady at No. 11 and was trailed by Martin Kaymer, Billy Horschel, Jordan Spieth, Zach Johnson and Dustin Johnson as the top 16 were unchanged from last week.

Graeme McDowell and Jimmy Walker both inched up one to 17th and 18th. Tiger Woods dipped a pair to 19th and Victor Dubuisson jumped two to No. 20. His move bumped Hideki Matsuyama out of the top 20 this week.
