The Ryder Cup team-mates swap places at 10th and 11th, while Ian Poulter, who finished in a tie for third, moves up to 24th in the new rankings.

Phil Mickelson is back up to third ahead of Adam Scott after sharing third place with Poulter.

South African Charl Schwartzel improves from 57th to 40th with his Spanish Open victory.

And with the top 50 in a week's time being invited to the Players Championship in Florida - golf's unofficial fifth major - he can go ahead and book his flights.

Darren Clarke, who missed his fourth successive cut in Madrid, is down to 75th, but he gets into the Players field from his 125th place finish on the US Tour last season.
