Joost Luiten emerged from a crowded top of the leaderboard at the Wales Open on Sunday to win by one shot, and that victory propelled him up 12 spots to No. 36 in this week's world rankings.

Luiten shot an even-par 71 on Sunday and finished one shot ahead of Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry at 14-under 270. Luiten was previously No. 48 in the world.

With the PGA Tour not in action last week, there was not much change to the world's top players. This year's Open champion and PGA Championship winner Rory McIlroy remained the No. 1 player in the world followed by Adam Scott and Sergio Garcia.

The only change within the top 20 was Jim Furyk and Henrik Stenson swapping spots. Furyk jumped one to No. 4, while Stenson fell back to No. 5. Justin Rose, Bubba Watson, Jason Day, Matt Kuchar and Rickie Fowler rounded out the top 10 from No. 6.

Nos. 11 through 20 remained the same as well, with Phil Mickelson, Martin Kaymer, Jordan Spieth, Billy Horschel, Tiger Woods, Zach Johnson, Dustin Johnson, Graeme McDowell, Jimmy Walker and Hideki Matsuyama holding firm.
