Jordan Spieth returns to the top of the world rankings after Shanghai finish

Double 2015 major winner Jordan Spieth is officially back on top of the world after leapfrogging Australia’s Jason Day in the new global golf rankings released on Tuesday.

Spieth’s tied seventh place in the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai on Sunday was enough to take the Masters, US Open and FedEx Cup champion back to world number one as Day opted not to play to be at the birth of his second child.
