It's a career high for the Offaly man
Shane Lowry is up to a career high of 12th in the latest golf world rankings.
The Offaly native finished in a tie for eighth at the Valspar Championship last night, five shots adrift of eventual winner Viktor Hovland.
Rory McIlroy - who didn't play last week - remains in second place with Scottie Scheffler still leading the way at the summit.
