Korean golfer Choi Kyoung-ju has risen to seventh in the global rankings with his win at the Sony Open on Monday.

That brings him two notches up from his previous record to give him the highest ranking he's held in his career.

The 37-year-old golfer is now setting his sights on becoming one of the world's top five male golfers.

Tiger Woods tops the list, followed by Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk.
