Rolex Rankings Movers of the Year 2012 "Vol 2"

Before I get to today's subject, let me give a big congratulations to Stacy Lewis for winning the Navistar Classic. It breaks a dry spell for American players, and gets them back into the winner's circle. It was only the sixth victory for an American player this year, but that number does tie South Korea for first place.
With Stacy receiving 30 player of the year points for the victory, she now has a huge 56 point lead. With only 6 tournaments to go, she will be next to impossible to catch. With her ability to finish in the top 10 every week, she leads the tour with 14, she just has to play what is average golf for her, to be the first American Player of the Year winner since 1994.

It has been 4 months since I last looked at the biggest winners and losers in the Rolex Rankings for the 2012 season. A lot has changed since then.

Rolex ranks the ladies based on average points per tournament, on a rolling 2 year calender. For example, Yani Tseng the #1 player in the world, has accumulated 639.58 points playing in 48 tournaments over that period, for an average of 13.32 points per tournament. I have gone back to the first published rankings of the year and compared them to the rankings released today. The only requirement for my list is that a player must have been in the top 100 at the start of the year, or be in the top 100 now.
