Michelle moved up the leader board on Sunday to land a tie for second place when the Navistar LPGA Classic finally came to an end. Lorena Ochoa, the world’s #1 ranked women golfer, clinched the win.

Michelle moved up a total of eight spots to the 14th ranked woman in the Rolex Women’s world golf rankings. It was Michelle’s seventh top 10 in 17 tournaments this year. Definitely improvement, considering she was ranked 237th in the world at the outset of the 2009 season. Look for 2010 to be a banner year for Michelle, including her first of many wins on the LPGA tour.

Annika Sorenstam stayed at number one in the world among women golfers, but Michelle Wie, once the number two player in the world, fell from 8th in the world to 9th. Pat Hurst also dropped one spot, from 10^th to 11th in the world rankings. Lorena Ochoa, Karrie Webb, Christie Kerr, and Juli Inkster round out the top five in the world as of today.
