(Sports Network) - Geoff Ogilvy's win over Davis Love III in the World Golf Championships - Accenture Match Play propelled the Australian into the top-30 in the latest Official World Golf Rankings. Ogilvy climbed 27 places to a career-best standing of 26th.

The top-10 remained unchanged from a week ago. Tiger Woods held on to the top spot and was followed by Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen, Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Jim Furyk, Adam Scott, David Toms and Chris DiMarco.

Love's loss to Ogilvy in the 36-hole final of the WGC - Accenture Match Play helped the American return to the top-20 as he jumped from 28th to 14th in the new rankings.

U.S. Open champion Michael Campbell dropped two places to No. 15. Angel Cabrera moved up one to 16th, while Kenny Perry was down five to 17th. Rory Sabbatini fell two to 18. Henrik Stenson and Chad Campbell each slipped one space to 19th and 20th respectively.
