McIlroy is World Number Three


US Open champion Rory McIlroy has climbed to a career-high of third in the world rankings.

Martin Kaymer's failure to finish in the top eight at the BMW International Open on Sunday led to McIlroy moving above the German.

World number one Luke Donald and Lee Westwood are now the only players above McIlroy in the rankings.

McIlroy, 22, is currently on a break and will next be in action in the Open Championship at Sandwich.

The Northern Irishman clinched his first major triumph last weekend when he won by eight shots at Congressional.
