 width=Fabian Gomez ran away with a 4-shot victory at the St. Jude Classic on Sunday and that vaulted the Argentine to No. 131 in the world rankings.

Gomez moved up 157 spots from 288th to 131st following his first career victory on the PGA Tour.

Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth remained firmly in control of the one and two spots in the world, while Jim Furyk and Bubba Watson both stayed put as well at three and four.

Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson swapped spots, with Rose up one to five. Despite withdrawing last week due to illness, Dustin Johnson is still at No. 7.

Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler traded places as Garcia rose to eight. Jason Day, Jimmy Walker, Adam Scott, J.B. Holmes, Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Reed and Chris Kirk are Nos. 10-16 for another week.

With his tie for third in Memphis, Phil Mickelson improved two spots to 17, dropping Matt Kuchar and defending U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer down a slot each. Billy Horschel was No. 20 once again.
