Sorenstam makes modest gain in Rolex Rankings

---

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Annika Sorenstam posted a seven-stroke victory Sunday at the Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill, but the decisive win only inched her a little closer to world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa in this week's Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings.

Ochoa, who tied for 12th at Kingsmill, remained well ahead of No. 2 Sorenstam. Suzann Pettersen, Paula Creamer and Karrie Webb rounded out the top five this week.

Cristie Kerr, Ji-Yai Shin and Jeong Jang all kept their spots from last week. Jee Young Lee moved up one to ninth, while Juli Inkster dipped one to fall to 10th.

Momoko Ueda stayed 11th, but Se Ri Pak rose to No. 12. Mi Hyun Kim slipped one and a pair of Americans switched places from last week. Stacy Prammanasudh jumped to No. 14, while Morgan Pressel sank to 15th.

Maria Hjorth, Sakura Yokomine, Angela Stanford, Seon-Hwa Lee and Yuri Fudoh completed the top 20 for the second consecutive week.
