Bill Haas’ heroics at the Bob Hope Classic have sent him soaring from 200th to 112th in the World Rankings.

Bill Haas, the 27-year-old son of former Ryder Cup player Jay, is up from 200th to 112th in the world after his maiden PGA Tour victory.
Haas birdied the last two holes of the Bob Hope Classic in California to finish one ahead of fellow Americans Matt Kuchar and Bubba Watson and South African Tim Clark.
The US event, which unusually finished on Monday due to one of its earlier rounds being washed out by heavy rain, did not affect the moves made in the rankings by the key figures involved in Sunday’s dramatic final round at the Abu Dhabi Championship.
German winner Martin Kaymer retains his career low sixth place, England’s Ian Poulter, the runner-up by a shot, stays at number 10 and third-placed Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland is still in 11th place after being bumped out of the top 10 by Poulter
