MEN’S TOP 10
Adam Hadwin makes the biggest move of the week among the Top-10, picking up eight places in the world ranking after finishing in a tie for fifth in his first ever World Golf Championship event, the Bridgestone Invitational. It was his third top-5 finish this season and the result was worth 14.82 world ranking points – the fourth best points-paying finish in his career. It also snapped a string of three missed cuts leading into this event and vaulted him up to No. 48 in the world rankings.
