Keith Mitchell's breakthrough win at the Honda Classic brought with it plenty of perks, but there might be one more in the near future based on his new position in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Mitchell birdied the final hole at PGA National to hold off Brooks Koepka and Rickie Fowler, winning for the first time on the PGA Tour and ensuring that he'll make his major debut next month at the Masters. It also helped him jump nearly 100 spots in the latest world rankings, going from No. 162 to a career-best 68th.
Mitchell's newfound position puts him on the cusp of an invite to the WGC-Dell Match Play Championship later this month.
