Despite projections, Ko maintains world No. 1

Apparently, it’s so strong that she is able to beat the official Women’s World Golf Ranking projections.

Contrary to the calculations and scenarios projected by the WWGR computer program last week, Ariya Jutanugarn didn’t ascend to No. 1 in today’s release of the newest rankings. The WWGR projections released by the LPGA last week were wrong.

Ko is still No. 1 in the newest rankings, extending her reign to 85 consecutive weeks, though by the slimmest of margins. She remains No. 1 by just one one-hundredth of a point over Ariya Jutanugarn.

Last week, the LPGA released the official projections made by the WWGR computer program, showing that no scenario allowed Ko to remain at No.
