MICHELLE WIE, UP TO No 6, TOP CLIMBER IN 2014
DISAPPOINTING YEAR FOR CATRIONA
MATTHEW: DOWN TO 28th IN WORLD
FROM GOLFWEEK.COM
The stand-out climber in the 2014 Women's Pro Rankings was Michelle Wie, who fulfilled her immense teenage promise with victory at the US Open at Pinehurst in June. It was one of two wins among 13 top tens for the 25-year-old.
Wie climbed from 61 in the world to number six in standings that continue to be led by the South Korean Inbee Park.
It was a disappointing season for the British number one, Catriona Matthew. The 45-year-old Scot from North Berwick managed only three top 10s on the LPGA Tour as she slipped from 11th to 28th in the world.
Catriona, pictured right, will be hoping to be reinvigorated by the prospect of another Solheim Cup appearance for Europe next year.
English youngster Charley Hull climbed from outside the top 100 to 38th as she collected the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit at just eighteen years of age.
Hull is the outstanding home prospect for women's golf and with Rory McIlroy, a mere 25-year-old from Northern Ireland, commanding the men's standings, there's every reason to anticipate another enticing UK golfing hit parade in 2015.
