Stats watch: O'Hair cracks top 20
Eurosport - Mon, 04 May 13:29:00 2009
Sean O'Hair's win at Quail Hollow has seen him rocket 10 places up the world rankings to 12.
O'Hair, who just held off fellow Americans Lucas Glover and Bubba Watson to claim victory on the weekend, also moves up to third in both the US Tour money list and the FedExCup standings.
The American's bump in the rankings means Briton Luke Donald drops out of the top 20 players in the world.
Thomas Levet's two-stroke victory at the Open d'Espana sees him move into the top 20 in the Race to Dubai, just behind South African Ernie Els.

O'Hair has been on a tear this year. He is easily a top 10 player. That loss to Woods a few weeks back will be a good learning experience in the long run and when gets in contention in a major.
As for Woods, if he doesn't fix his driving, he can kiss the US Open goodbye -- the penalty for errant drives will be severe.
