As correctly predicted by GolfbyTourMiss.com new Austrian Open winner Marc Warren has taken a huge 927 places leap up the official World Rankings to be the World No. 331.
Warren arrived in Austria well down in 1,258th place on the rankings and his lowest of his career after starting out in the pro ranks at the 2001 Scottish PGA as No. 1167 in the world.
“Your first win is always special, but this one is definitely massive after the way I had played the last two years. It’s great to come out the other side of that now.

“Lockdown gave me the opportunity to not play golf but think about golf, if that makes sense. Even prior to that, when I went to South Africa I was just think about trying to play golf and keep it simple.
“It’s been about trying to get a bit of enjoyment back and I managed to find that over the last few weeks at home, playing and practising.
“In a funny way, when I left for Austria I wasn’t 100 per cent looking forward to it as I felt as if I didn’t want to jinx how I was feeling.
“Over the past couple of years, I had not been enjoying going to my work, which is not a good place for anybody to be.
“I came out last week feeling refreshed and I think it showed. I was trying to be one-dimensional, hitting one shape all the time, in order to not find myself in positions where I am second guessing things.”
