Lydia Ko has moved further down the women's golf world rankings after missing the third cut of the LPGA season.

After failing to fire at the Canadian Open, the Kiwi 20-year-old has slipped two places down the world rankings to seventh.

Ko failed to make the weekend at the Canadian Women's Open - a tournament she won three times, including twice as an amateur.

It extended her drought to seven straight tournaments without a top-10 finish. It comes after Ko had accrued seven top-10 finishes in her previous 10 tournaments.

Ko began the year at number one and held the position until June, ending 84 weeks at the top spot. She hasn't won a tournament since the Marathon Classic in July last year.

So Yeon Ryu remains the world number while Sung Hyun Park has moved to third behind American Lexi Thompson.
