World Ranking Update August 2016

RIciky Wysocki #38008 takes the final step to the top of World Rankings with an impressive victory in Emporia, Kansas at the 2016 Pro Worlds. Paul McBeth #27523 slips to 2nd after initially torching Jones East, then fighting hard the rest of the week to catch Wysocki who wouldn't yield the lead after round 1. Nate Doss #11794 takes a big step towards the top moving up from 9th to 3rd. Two other new members in the top 10 are Eagle Wynne McMahon #37817 in 7th and Cameron Colglazier #47407 in 9th.

Catrina Allen #44184 and Paige Pierce #29190 still remain ranked 1 and 2 after their epic battle eventually found them tied for second at Pro Worlds behind now 4X Professional Women's World Champion, Valarie Jenkins #17495, who moved up to 3rd. Performance in Pro Worlds or European Tour brought several new women into the top 10: Eveliina Salonen #64927 in 5th, Hannah Leatherman #45396 in 6th, Mayu Iwasaki #8209 in 7th, Lisa Fajkus #32654 in 8th, and Natalie Holloköi #40800 in 10th.

Note: This update uses ratings from the August update posted today. That means several top players mentioned above haven't yet gotten the benefit of their higher round ratings at events they played just before or after the July 26th report deadline which includes The Majestic and Pro Worlds. Some will likely have even higher ratings and rankings in the September update as we move into the European, U.S. Womens and U.S. Disc Golf Championship season.
