The first Rolex Rankings of the year are out and although Nelly Korda again retained her throne as world No. 1, this week it came with some history.

The 23-year-old Korda has now held the world's top spot for 26 weeks, passing two-time major winner Stacy Lewis for the most time at world No. 1 by an American. Lewis held the No. 1 spot for four weeks in 2013 and then reclaimed it in 2014 after winning the ShopRite LPGA Classic, carrying it for 21 weeks.
