The two big entertainers of the last singles day of the Team Cup in Abu Dhabi, Matthieu Pavon and Tommy Fleetwood, did not score any points in the world rankings last week and lost a few places.
Their magnificent duel on Sunday on the Abu Dhabi Golf Resort course did not leave indifferent the observers present in the Emirates for the Team Cup pitting Great Britain and Ireland against a team made up of players from the European continent.
There is no doubt that Luke Donald appreciated the clash between the Englishman and the best player of the continental clan. Let's hope that this memory weighs in the balance when the European captain will have to write 6 names on a sheet of paper to complete his Ryder Cup team at the end of August.
However the match between Tommy Fleetwood et Matthieu Pavon counted for butter. At least when it comes to the world rankings.
Indeed, by skipping the PGA Tour tournament in Hawaii this week (event where he finished 7th last year), Matthieu Pavon is overtaken by the Canadian winner of the Sony Open, Nick Taylor, and is now 33rd. rank.
The Englishman, absent from the first two tournaments of the season in the Pacific, is the only player in the top 10 to see his ranking change. He moves from 9th to 10th place in favor of Bryson DeChambeau.
The two other French people in the world top 100 are sailing beyond 75th place. Romain Langasque is 76th and Victor Perez drops to 80th place.
