Ashleigh Buhai took a week off last week and still went up one position to 18^th in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings to 18^th.

That, and a similarly simple statistical adjustment to Lee-Anne Pace’s ranking which saw her down one place to 159^th, were the only two changes to the top 10 South African positions on the list.

Paula Reto missed the cut in the LPGA Tour’s Lotte championship in Hawaii, and not damage was done to her 60^th place on the rankings.

South Africa’s top 10:

1. Ashleigh Buhai 18 (up 1)
2. Paula Reto 60 (unchanged)
3. Lee-Anne Pace 159 (down 1)
4. Nicole Garcia 199 (unchanged)
5. Casandra Alexander 264 (unchanged)
6. Kaleigh Telfer 527 (unchanged)
7. Stacy Bregman 549 (unchanged)
8. Kiera Floyd 662 (unchanged)
9. Nadia van der Westhuizen 663 (unchanged)
10. Lejan Lewthwaite 842 (unchanged)
