MEN’S AMATEUR TOP 10
No significant changes in the Top-10 this past week.
Garrett Rank completes his 23rd consecutive week as the top ranked amateur in Canada.
No. 3 Joey Savoie was the only player to make any positive gains, picking up a single place in the world rankings after his fourth place result at the Argentine amateur championship. It marked a successful close to the South American swing for the Golf Canada National Team member, who joined with Josh Whalen to capture the Tailhade Cup earlier this month.
For his part, Whalen finished in a tie for 17th at the Argentine amateur event.
Biggest move: Carter Graf gained 1,128 spots in the world rankings after claiming the Low Overall and Juvenile Boys title at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour Championship. The 16-year-old from Sylvan Lake, AB finished 13 strokes ahead of his nearest competitor

WOMEN’S TOP 10
Elizabeth Tong was the only Top-10 player to make a positive gain in the world rankings, picking up a single spot as the LPGA and world golf season winds down.
Top ranked Brooke Henderson skipped the second-last LPGA event of the year in China in order to prepare for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship. Seeded fifth in the event, a win and she will claim the $1-million season ending prize. Barring outright victory, Henderson – a two-time winner on tour this year- needs to finish in the top eight to have a shot at the million dollar prize, depending on what the four other players ranked ahead of her do.
Other Notable Results: No. 2 Alena Sharp finished tied for 42nd at LPGA Blue Bay event
