Golf Betting Lines

08/23/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ai Miyazato has moved to No. 1 in the world rankings for women's golf for the third time this season.

Miyazato bumped Cristie Kerr from the top spot after winning the Safeway Classic on Sunday for her fifth title on the LPGA Tour this season.

The 25-year-old Japanese star was also No. 1 in the rankings on June 21 and July 19. Both of those stints lasted only a week.

She is one of three players who have held the top spot since Lorena Ochoa's retirement in May. In addition to Miyazato and Kerr, Jiyai Shin has also been the women's No. 1.

"I think it's going to be back and forth again, because all the top-five players are just playing so good this year," Miyazato said Sunday. "I don't really feel like I'm that far above everyone else, so that's why I think that the rankings will still keep on changing."

Kerr knocked her approach shot into the water at the 18th hole Sunday and tied for second place behind Miyazato, dropping to No. 2 in the rankings. It was the second time she has been bumped from the top spot in the last two months.

Suzann Pettersen moved past Shin and into the No. 3 spot after tying for fourth place Sunday. Shin tied for sixth and dipped to No. 4 in the rankings, while Yani Tseng and Na Yeon Choi remained fifth and sixth.

Song-Hee Kim shared fourth with Pettersen and moved up three places to No. 7, dropping Paula Creamer, In Kyung Kim and Anna Nordqvist down one notch apiece to round out the top 10.

The remainder of the top 20 went, in order: Karrie Webb, Michelle Wie, Angela Stanford, Inbee Park, Morgan Pressel, Sakura Yokomine, Mi-Jeong Jeon, Chie Arimura, Brittany Lincicome and Katherine Hull.
