U.S. World Cup wins but Europe dominates rankings

Matt Kuchar and Gary Woodland were eleven years after the triumph for the United States in the World Cup finals in China golf, what came to offset the continuing European domination in the world ranking.

The first four places in the list are occupied by European golfers, with English Luke Donald to head for the twenty eighth consecutive week.
The Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, the Englishman Lee Westwood and Germany's Martin Kaymer are, in that order, between the second and fourth.

Sergio Garcia is the best of the Spanish (seventeenth) to two-week European Tour Final in Dubai.
