Rory McIlroy has risen to sixth in the world rankings after his victory in the BMW PGA Championship.
McIlroy moved up from 10th following a one-shot win over Shane Lowry at Wentworth that saw him only move into the lead on the 71st hole of the tournament.
The Northern Irishman came from seven shots behind to win The European Tour's most prestigious event, carding the lowest round of the final day with a six under par 66.
Sweden's Henrik Stenson has climbed to second after finishing joint seventh behind McIlroy, but that was not enough to overtake world No 1 Adam Scott who won the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.
