MEN’S TOP 10

Benjamin Silverman vaults into the Top-10 following his first career win on the Web.com Tour at the Price Cutter Charity Championship. Silverman had five birdies and no bogeys in his final round but none was more important than the final one on the 18th hole to avoid a playoff and secure the win. The victory was worth 14 world ranking points and enabled the Thornhill, Ont. golfer to climb 453 spots up to No. 7 in the Canadian rankings. More importantly, he now sits 16th on the Tour’s money list, putting him in solid position to earn his PGA Tour card for next season.

Graham DeLaet reclaimed the No. 2 ranking in Canada following his solid performance at the final major of the golf season. DeLaet mustered a tie for seventh at the PGA Championship after entering the final round just five shots off the lead. The result was good for 17 world ranking points, his best points-paying finish since a tie for fifth at the Valspar Championship in 2016. DeLaet’s fifth top-10 result of the season helped him climb 26 places to move back into the top 100 in the world ranking for the first time since July 2015.

Honourable mention this week goes to Wes Heffernan, who rejoins the Canadian world rankings following his runner-up result at the Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada ATB Financial Classic. Playing on a sponsors exemption, it was his first result of 2017 and comes almost a year to the day he missed the cut at this same event in 2016.

Other notable results: No. 1 Adam Hadwin and No. 3 Mackenzie Hughes both missed the cut at PGA Championship; No. 10 Corey Conners finished tied for 54th at Web.com Tour Price Cutter Charity Championship;
