Park In-bee drops another spot to third

Former world No. 1 Park In-bee has slipped a spot to third in the latest women’s world golf rankings released on Monday.

The South Korean star lost her No. 1 ranking to Stacy Lewis of the United States five weeks ago and has now fallen behind Lewis and Lydia Ko of New Zealand, who moved up a notch to her career-high No. 2.

Park, who climbed to No. 1 last year on the strength of six victories, including three majors, has claimed only one LPGA title so far in 2014.

Lewis has missed the top 10 just twice in 15 starts this year.

Ryu So-yeon, former LPGA Rookie of the Year, is the only other South Korean inside the top 10. (Yonhap)
