The third victory, which took eight years and eight months, greatly increased the value of Lee Mi-hyang (33, Volvik). She made a vertical jump in the women's golf world ranking.

Lee Mi-hyang ranked 60th with a ranking point of 1.65 points in the Rolex Women's Golf World Rankings announced on the 10th (Korea Standard Time), up 23 places from 83rd last week.

Lee Mi-hyang won the Blue Bay LPGA Tour (total prize money of $2.6 million) on the 8th with an 11-under 277 total. Lee Mi-hyang, who received $390,000 (about 570 million won) in prize money, also enjoyed a huge rise in the world ranking.

Lee Mi-hyang, who first won the Mizuno Classic in 2014, has won three games in eight years and eight months since the Scottish Open in July 2017.

The win is more meaningful because he showed off his stable performance even though he was not in good condition due to a shoulder injury. Lee Mi-hyang's victory is more meaningful because Korean players dropped their heads on the winning path despite their good performances early in the season.

The world ranking also ranked 83rd last week, but jumped to 60th in an instant. Lee Mi-hyang, who raised her ranking to 31st place in 2019, has since fallen out of the top 100 but has regained her skills from 2024 and entered the top 100 again.

With this victory, it is expected that Lee Mi-hyang, who took a vertical leap, will continue to rise and jump to her highest ranking ever.

Gino Thitikul (Thailand) firmly maintained the first place and Nelly Koda (USA) kept the second place. All the other 'top 10' kept their place. Among Korean players, Kim Hyo-joo (31, Lotte) was the only one to remain in the top 10 in seventh place.

Kim Se-young (33, Sport) is in 11th place, Yoo Hae-ran (25, Daol Financial Group) is in 13th place, and Choi Hye-jin (27, Lotte) is in 15th place, aiming to enter the top 10.

The LPGA Tour, which will take a break this week, will continue its season with the Fortinet Founders Cup, which will be held at Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club in California on the 20th.
