Australia’s Jason Day has shot into the world’s top 20 for the first time in the latest golf rankings.
The 23-year-old finished tied for sixth at The Players Championship on the weekend and in the process jumped four places to 20th in the rankings.
Day finished tied for second with compatriot Adam Scott behind South Africa’s Charl Schwarztel at last month’s US Masters and has achieved five top 10 finishes from 10 starts in 2011.
Scott is the highest ranked Australian at number 19 in the rankings, while countrymen Geoff Ogilvy (29th), Robert Allenby (33rd) and Aaron Baddeley (50th) also sit in the top 50.
Baddeley will join Scott, Day, Ogilvy and Allenby in qualifying for next month's US Open should he remain in the top 50 for another week.
