Jeev Milkha Singh's tied 25th finish in the Masters helped him climb three places to 80th even though Jyoti Randhawa continued to be India's highest ranked golfer at 74th.
Placed 83rd in last week's Official World Golf Rankings, Jeev, who notched up his best finish in a Major at the Augusta Masters on Sunday, rose to 80 in the latest chart, which also has Randhawa at 74, one place up from his previous 75th position.
Among other Indians, Indian Masters winner S S P Chowrasia is ranked 154th and the only other Indian in the top 200 list is Orlando-based Arjun Atwal, who is at 198.
Trevor Immelman, who became only the second South African Masters Champion, climbed 14 places to be world number 15.
