Hideki Matsuyama, who won the championship for the first time as a Japanese male player in overseas major golf, has moved up from 25th to 14th in the latest world rankings.
The men's golf world ranking is calculated based on the points earned in the games played in the last two years.
Matsuyama was the first Japanese male player to win the "Masters Tournament" at a major overseas tournament, and moved up from 25th to 14th in the latest ranking on the 11th.
Matsuyama's highest ranking so far is the second place recorded in the 2017 season when he won two overseas tours, and it is expected that he will advance to the top this season.
Dustin Johnson of the United States is No. 1 in the world ranking, Justin Thomas is No. 2 and Jon Rahm of Spain is No. 3, which has not changed from the previous week.
