Inbee Park maintained the No. 1 spot ahead of Suzann Pettersen and Stacy Lewis, who finished in second place behind Feng.<\/p>\n
So Yeon Ryu and Lydia Ko swapped places to sit in fourth and fifth, respectively, while Na Yeon Choi and Karrie Webb held firm in sixth and seventh.<\/p>\n
Feng and Catriona Matthew each moved up a place to sit in eighth and ninth, which caused I.K. Kim to fall a pair of slots to round out the top 10.<\/p>\n
Paula Creamer, Cristie Kerr, Jiyai Shin and Ai Miyazato stayed put from 11th through 14th. Angela Stanford and Lizette Salas exchanged places to sit in 15th and 16th.<\/p>\n
Hee Young Park remained in 17th ahead of Mika Miyazato, who collected a win at the Japan Women’s Open Golf Championship, an LPGA of Japan Tour major, on Sunday to move up to 18th.<\/p>\n
Miyazato’s move caused Beatriz Recari to fall a place to 19th and former world No. 1 Yani Tseng held still at 20th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
