British golfer Paul Casey has moved up from eighth to ninth position in the latest world rankings.

Casey was left out of the European Ryder Cup team, which was named last night, despite ranking ahead of the three wildcard picks: Luke Donald, Padraig Harrington and Edoardo Molinari.

Many, including Luke Donald, have criticised Casey’s omission. Donald earlier told BBC Sport that “the European Tour has to look harder at the system” following the Ryder Cup selections.

Matt Kuchar of the USA has entered the top ten for the first time after his performance at the Barclays over the weekend.
