I created a visualization of MPO world rankings between 2005 and 2019: https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/3177129/. You can click on individual lines to focus on one player. I limited the data set to just players who at one point were in the top ten between 2005 and 2019.
Knowing my handicap, is there a site which will tell me my ranking among other golfing amateurs, specifically in Australia..
This week, Xander Schauffele passed Adam Scott to jump into the Top 10 in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). With the Australian falling out of the Top 10, this means that Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy are the only non-Americans in the Top 10 in the world. This is the first time that eight Americans are in the Top 10 since the OWGR was first released in 1986. The last time Americans were outnumbed in the Top 10 was in May 2018, when Rahm, Rose, Day, McIlroy, Matsuyama, and Casey were in all in the Top 10.
For most of the history of the OWGR, non-Americans have either been equal in number or were greater than the amount of Americans in the Top 10. This recent trend of Americans dominating the Top 10 is quite rare. Before 2019, there was only a single week in which there were seven American in the Top 10. Since then, 33 weeks have featured seven or more Americans in the top 10. However, going deeper in the OWGR doesn't exactly replicate America's dominance. Six of the players ranked 11-20 are non-Americans. Right now, there are more non-Americans in the Top 20 than there were in the first OWGR ranking in 1986, and there are more non-Americans in the Top 20 than there were the week after Tiger's first Masters win in 1997. Still, eight Americans in the Top 10 of the OWGR is quite an achievement that has never happened before.

With another good performance on Sunday he'll have a shot to crack the Top 100, maybe even Top 50 with a win.
