Padraig Harrington and Henrik Stenson remained 12th and 13th, while Stewart Cink was up one spot to 14th, dropping Sergio Garcia to 15th. Luke Donald and Angel Cabrera held the 16th and 17th spots again.

Lee Westwood and defending Masters champion Zach Johnson were up one spot apiece to 18th and 19th, knocking Aaron Baddeley down two places to 20th.
