Women's Open champion Lydia Ko has leaped nine places up to third in the latest women’s world golf rankings.
Ko's victory at St Andrews in testing conditions was the second success within a month at a major tournament, after she won gold at the Paris Olympics.

The 27-year-old also has two other recent top-10 finishes as she raced up the rankings from No 22 a month ago.
Americans Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu, who finished tied for second to Ko in Scotland, remain No 1 and No 2.
Ko's Olympic victory made her eligible for the LPGA Hall of Fame. She is the youngest to earn such as accolade.
She became golf's youngest world No 1 in February 2015 at age 17 and nine months and in 2015 she carded a record 63 to grab her first major at the Evian Championship. She added the ANA Inspiration title in 2016.
The Women’s Open was her third major title and a title which finished off a spectacular month.
"It's been a whirlwind of a past three weeks. It's been crazy to get into the Hall of Fame by winning the gold. These are things that I could have never imagined because they were just too good to be true," said Ko.
