Paul Dunne vaulted more than 100 spots in the latest Official World Golf Ranking, thanks to his maiden European Tour win at the British Masters.

Dunne rose from 192nd to 88th after holding off Rory McIlroy. McIlroy remained sixth in the rankings.

There was little movement in the top 10 as the PGA Tour took the week off, in between seasons. Jason Day dropped from seventh to ninth, bumping both Rickie Fowler (No. 7) and Henrik Stenson (No. 8) up a spot.
