OWGR: Viktor Hovland at career high; Rickie Fowler at worst since Feb. 2014

Viktor Hovland cracked the top 15 in the latest Official World Golf Ranking while Rickie Fowler fell out of the top 50.

Hovland’s victory in the Mayakoba Golf Classic moved him to No. 15 in the world, up 11 spots.

The 23-year-old Norwegian turned pro last year and joins fellow Class of 2019 standouts Collin Morikawa (No. 7) and Matthew Wolff (No. 14) among the top 15 in the OWGR.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout continued his ascension as well, thanks to back-to-back wins on the European Tour. The South African won in his homeland in consecutive weeks, most recently his national open, to climb to 35th in the world.
