Scheffler, ranking

Scheffler, who finished second in the first major of the season, one stroke behind McIlroy, has an average of 16.2 points, compared to his rival’s 10.1, according to the World Golf Ranking (OWGR) published this Monday.

A week ago, the American had an average of 15.10 to the Northern Irishman’s 8.05, so his second consecutive victory at Augusta National Golf Club allows him to narrow the gap somewhat.

Fellow American Cameron Young remains in third place, having finished tied for third at the Masters with four other players, including Briton Justin Rose, who climbs to fourth in the OWGR.

The top ten is completed by Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley, Matt Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, and J.J. Spaun.

Spaniard Jon Rahm, who had a poor showing at Augusta and finished in 38th place, drops one spot in the rankings to 31st, and Colombian Nico Echavarría, who missed the cut at the major, falls two places to 42nd.

The Rules of Golf are a set of standards and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf worldwide, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee composed of members of the R&A and the USGA oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision took effect on January 1, 2016. Amendments to the Rules of Golf are generally divided into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance. The rulebook, entitled «Rules of Golf,» is published regularly and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Italian Golf Federation is responsible for overseeing competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R&A, ensuring that these rules are observed by clubs, associations, and their members, and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
