    Schwartzel remains SA's top-ranked golfer

    Charl Schwartzel remains South Africa’s top-ranked golfer in the latest official world golf rankings while Branden Grace moved up one spot to 21st.

    Schwartzel remained in 18th place in the latest rankings on the back of his strong showing at Augusta and with a weak field turning out at both the RBC Heritage and the Trophee Hassan II, there was little movement inside the top 20.

    Adam Scott moved up to 10th place leaving #SB2K17 member, Justin Thomas, to drop down a spot this week.

    Branden Grace finished in a share of 11th at Harbour Town and as a result moved up one place to 21st with Bubba Watson going the other way. Louis Oosthuizen dropped two spots to 32nd in the world.

    RBC Heritage winner Wesley Bryan was the big winner, moving up to 37th from 73rd spot the week before while the winner in Morocco, Edoardo Molinari, climbed 366 spots to 245th.

    South African duo Haydn Porteous and Trevor Fisher Jnr both had strong showings in Morocco and moved up to 358 and 378 respectively.
