Kevin Chappell's breakthrough win has taken him to unprecedented heights in the latest Official World Golf Rankings.
After 180 starts, Chappell finally got his first career PGA Tour victory Sunday at the Valero Texas Open, holing a birdie putt on the final green to edge Brooks Koepka. It was a win that Chappell termed a "big relief," and one that took him from No. 41 to a career-best 23rd in the latest rankings.
Koepka's runner-up finish allowed him to leapfrog Phil Mickelson at No. 19, but that proved to be the only change among the top 20 players in an otherwise quiet week.
