• Aussies on Tour: Top 10s for Kyriacou, Bennett

Stephanie Kyriacou and Kelsey Bennett will continue their climb up the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking courtesy of top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour respectively.

For the second straight week Kyriacou (pictured, right) finished strongly to play her way inside the top 10 at the LPGA Tour’s Mizuho Americas Open in New Jersey.

Kyriacou had three birdies in her opening four holes in a final round of 5-under 67 to climb into a tie for fifth, her third top-six finish in her past five starts.

Already sitting at a career high of No.43 in the world ranking, Kyriacou is destined to rise inside the top 40 in what was a very productive week for the Aussie contingent in the US.

Hira Naveed’s tie for eighth is equal to her best result of the year while Minjee Lee’s tie for 15th is her sixth top-15 finish of the year.

Like Kyriacou, Bennett (pictured, left) is set for a new career high world ranking on the back of her third successive top-10 result on the Ladies European Tour.

One of only 11 players to end the week under par at the Aramco Korea Championship, Bennett birdied the final hole to earn a share of eighth and should surpass her previous best of 227 when the world ranking is updated.
