(The Sports Xchange) - Ryu So-yeon of South Korea ascended to number one in the Rolex Women's Golf Rankings on Monday in another shift at the top following her victory at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship on Sunday.

Ryu took over the top spot from Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn, who seized the number one ranking two weeks ago to end the 84-week reign of Lydia Ko of New Zealand atop the rankings.
