After bagging his second win in the last three months, Matt Kuchar made another jump in the latest installment of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Kuchar captured the Sony Open with a closing 66, turning a two-shot lead into a four-shot margin of victory. As a result, he moved up 10 spots to No. 22 in the latest rankings. It's 18 spots better than where he stood before claiming the Mayakoba Golf Classic in the fall and marks his best position since April.

Andrew Putnam couldn't keep pace with Kuchar down the stretch in Honolulu, but a solo runner-up finish still helped him move up 22 spots to No.
