Karrie Webb drops to the 25th position in world rankings, but firm to move ahead
Australian Karrie Webb, who boasts a stunning profile on the LPGA (Ladies professional Golf Association) Tour, has slipped to the 25th position in the Women’s World Golf Rankings.
Webb has been a prominent player on the LPGA Tour, having grabbed several victories in her professional career that spans over two decades. Now that the Aussie star has seen a two-spot drop in her ranking, it is time for her to redefine her strategy and claw her way back to the previous position.
As the competition on the Tour is getting more and more intense by the day, lesser-known players have emerged as a growing threat as they have dominated most of the top spots in the Women’s World Golf Rankings.
Analysts said that big names, especially non-Asians, might have had stunning profiles and plenty of victories to boast about, but a dramatic shift in the top spots has signalled tougher times ahead.
With Taiwanese Yani Tseng standing firm at the number one position, a huge number of South Korean players have grabbed most of the positions in the top-100.
Webb, who has been winless since her last LPGA victory at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup in March 2011, needs to adopt a new plan in order to regain her lost position in the world rankings.
Analysts said that the 37-year-old Australian is capable enough to take back her position, but she is going through a hard time these days. The once-feared golfer is now struggling to maintain her reputation that she earned thanks to multiple victories.
Webb has recorded 38 wins on the LPGA Tour — something that has helped her emulate players like current world number one Yani Tseng.
It is not just the number of LPGA victories that make the veteran star stand out among other players, performing well in major championships has also been Webb’s biggest source of inspiration.
The LPGA giant has racked up seven major titles so far, and is seeking to add more shine to her already-stunning profile.
Despite having an amazing track record, the experienced golfer appears to be in a difficult situation, as recent development in the world rankings has reflected that the next few months are going to be harder than before.
