Korean LPGA Tour standout rookie Kim Min-sol rose in the women's world golf rankings for the third consecutive week.
Kim received an average of 3.80 points in the rankings released Tuesday, moving up one spot from No. 15 to a career-high 14th.
She fell to No. 20 after tying for 53rd at the Jeju Samdasoo Masters in August.
Kim then finished second at both the Mediheal-Hankook Ilbo Championship and the KLPGA Championship before placing third at the OK Savings Bank Eutman Open, which ended Sunday. Those results lifted her from No. 20 to 18th, 15th and then 14th over three consecutive weeks.
Eutman Open champion Choi Ye-rim climbed 28 places to No. 83.
Seo Kyo-rim, who has emerged alongside Kim as one of the KLPGA Tour's two leading players this season, remained at No. 30 after skipping the Eutman Open.
Nelly Korda of the United States, Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand, Ryu Hae-ran and Kim Hyo-joo remained first through fourth, respectively.
