KARLSSON CLIMBS TO EIGHTH

KARLSSON CLIMBS TO EIGHTH


Robert Karlsson victory at the Dunhill Links Championship has helped haul him up into the world's top 10 for the first time - this at the ripe old age of 39.

The Swede's play-off victory over Martin Kaymer and Ross Fisher at St Andrews on Sunday takes him from 18th to eighth in the new rankings.

Colin Montgomerie's failure to survive the cut has dropped the struggling Scott, a nine-time winner of the European Tour's Order of Merit crown, out of the top 100 again.


Branch to test knee, may play Sunday vs. Buffalo
SUCCESSIVE WINS FOR KARLSSON
