For the first time since the introduction of the Rolex Women’s Golf Rankings three Australians figure in the Top-15 players in the world. Following last week’s runner-up finish at the year’s second major, the McDonald’s LPGA Championship, Lindsey Wright has jumped 17 places to be ranked No.12. Karrie Webb remains the highest ranked Australian at No.10 with fellow Queenslander Katherine Hull the third Australian at No. 13. 
 
Wright began the year ranked No.52 and has climbed up the rankings with some consistent performances in the first half of 2009.  She has recorded six Top-20 finishes in her eleven starts this year, including three Top-10’s. This includes an outright 4th at the first major in April, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, tied 3rd at the Michelob ULTRA Open in May and her runner-up finish on the weekend.
 
Australia now has the second highest representation of players inside the Top-15 on the Rolex Rankings with three (equal to the USA). Korea leads the way with five.
