Kim Juhyung has climbed to 30th in the world golf rankings.
In the men's world golf rankings announced on August 10 (Korean time), he received 3.3349 points, moving up three spots from 33rd place last week. He re-entered the world top 30 for the first time in one year and five months since March of last year.
Kim Juhyung earned ranking points by finishing tied for fifth at the Wyndham Championship on the PGA Tour, held at Sedgefield Country Club (par 70) in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA. Including his victory at last month's Genesis Scottish Open, this marks his third top-5 finish of the season.

By finishing third at the U.S. Open in June, he signaled a return to form, and his victory at the Genesis Scottish Open ended a 33-month title drought and sent his world ranking soaring.
Scottie Scheffler (USA), Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), and Cameron Young (USA) maintained the top three positions in the world rankings. Kim Siwoo held onto 18th place, the highest among Korean players, the same as last week. Michael Brennan (USA), who clinched his second career PGA Tour victory at the Wyndham Championship, jumped from 58th to 35th in the rankings.
